MAN STEALS $33,000 WORTH OF RARE COINS AND CASHES THEM INTO A COINSTAR MACHINE FOR $29.30 TOLEDO, OHIO — Marcus Feldstein, 36, was arrested and charged with grand theft after investigators say he stole an estimated $33,000 worth of rare and collectible coins from a private collection, only to dump the entire haul into a grocery store Coinstar machine for a payout of exactly $29.30. Investigators say the coins, several dating back over a century, were treated as ordinary pocket change and processed by the machine at standard face value without a second glance. Broke into a private residence and took an entire rare coin collection valued at $33,000 Poured the coins directly into a Coinstar kiosk at a local grocery store Received a total payout of $29.30 after the machine's standard processing fee Spent the entire payout on snacks before leaving the store Was later identified via the kiosk's own security footage, coins clearly visible Grocery store employees reportedly had no idea anything valuable had passed through the machine until detectives arrived asking pointed questions about the receipt. "Nineteen years investigating property crime and I've never seen a $33,000 heist cashed out for less than thirty dollars," said Detective Karen Ostrowski, Toledo PD, 19 years of service. The Coinstar receipt has since been entered into evidence and declined to comment. Rare coins are valuable to collectors. Marcus apparently only saw loose change worth a bag of chips.
