30 Guns, Jewelry Missing From Fortuna Home Torched This Morning
A fire at a Fortuna residence this morning appears to have been an attempt to cover up a burglary in the Ross Hill Road area of Fortuna, said Chief William Dobberstein. “We had a report of a fire at 6:07 a.m. When we got there, the fire department put the fire out fairly quickly but they discovered the house had been burglarized… The fireman discovered a safe in the back room open.”
The residents were out of town, Dobberstein said, but they came back and helped identify what was missing. At this point 30 guns, jewelry, and other items have been identified as missing.
“The house is pretty much destroyed,” Dobberstein said. “It is pretty bad…It looks like a burglar broke in,…stole items…and then attempted to set it on fire.”
An arson investigation team, is on the scene and investigating. Currently, there is no suspect.
Two other burglaries occurred early this morning at constructions sites. Although most of the stolen tools were found about 40 yards away from one of the burglaries, there are still missing items, Dobberstein explained. It is unknown whether these burglaries are related.

I feel bad for the owners can you imagine come home find your house number and burglarized best wishes to the owners and hope they get their home put back together better than it was.
I feel bad for all of us, who can now worry about an extra 30 guns in the hands of “bad guys.”
Don’t worry, that’s a drop in the bucket.
You can say that again.

Ditto
Hope the thug thieves are caught, tried and pay some form of penalty and restitution.
Coming home to a burned out shell of your home is horrific.
maybe they used the construction tools for the burglary?
That….doesn’t really cover up a robbery. What it does do is bring more teams of investigators picking through the rubble and talking to other people. Insurance companies are very keen to investigate arson/burglary cases.
you’re a pile… why even insinuate that? you know nothing about them
And you need to study some manners.
What’s wrong with the spelling?
Most likely an inside job. Who knew about the guns in the safe? So, this means 30 guns are now in criminal hands. Yeah!
What a disgusting POS. Seek consoling and get a job.
Just because that is something you would do, don’t project it onto someone else.
Sending prayers
Wow, 30 guns
Right!
Is the highway open it Laytonville yet
Matt, I’m sorry. I was registering my kid for school and missed a lot of news today.
Hillarious you’d ask that here. Lol
Thats what I was about to say,wow 30 guns
I mean ya that is a few guns, but I know people that got arsenals that make the television show ‘the walking dead’ look like a picnic.
Reads like surveillance cameras on public streets would solve and prevent many crimes.
any news on the fire right beside 101 in scotia today? didn’t see any articles about it on here.
Story tomorrow. (I was registering my kid for school.) Here’s the info as of 8:30
35 acres mostly timber; 10% contained
Aircraft Released for the evening
Dayshift has been ordered and consists of Engines, Water Tenders and Crews.
Heavy Commitment of Resources
Investigation is still in progress-no known cause
Thanks kym, I know you work really hard and it’s a lot to keep up on. I just drove by it earlier and it looks pretty serious, wouldn’t have guessed 35 acres though. are you the only one that writes the articles on here or are there others that help you?
Bobby Kroeker and Sandi Petersen are both part time (and essential!) but 90% of the articles are written by me.
It’s OK Kim. What did we do before you? Lol you just have us spoiled.
👍🏽
Plus there is a boycott of “the other ” blog due to their egregious exposure of cannabis registrants
So yes, THANKS Kym.
the only thing I will miss is “booked”. You do everything better
True that my friend. Totally lame on Loco’s part even though the information is public information. Still nobody would have went and looked for themselves but since loco made it easy, people looked. I said in a reply to another comment that it would be hilarious if kym would post all the names of the people that are involved with that website on here. Just to be funny and in retaliation for what they did.
Heard that ISIS Muslims around the country are setting fires to use up our resources. Don’t how true it is.
