COEUR d'ALENE, Idaho (AP) -- Burglars stole copper wire and pipes from a log home on Lake Coeur d'Alene that belongs to the Kootenai County sheriff.

The sheriff's office tells The Spokesman-Review thieves took wire worth about $3,000 from the unoccupied house along with $200 worth of pipe between Oct. 5 and 12.

Sheriff Rocky Watson and his wife Mary bought the 4,084-square-foot house in 2008 from Duane and Lola Hagadone and used a barge to move it to its current location. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home is listed for sale for $849,000.
