OLYMPIA — An Olympia man who won two Emmys has worked with police to recover one of his award statues, which he says was taken from a storage unit.
The Olympian reports the burglary was reported Feb. 17. Brett Hansen, who works for TVW and won Emmys for two documentaries, says he decided to look for the statue on Craigslist after police told him getting it back was unlikely.
Hansen says he found the Emmy online where sellers had it listed for $3,500.
He alerted detectives who showed up to meet the sellers in Lacey.
Lt. Paul Lower says three people arrived with the statue, but the nameplate on the award had been removed. He says police are “pretty sure” the Emmy is Hansen’s, but that they’ll keep the statue until an investigation is complete.
No arrests have been made.
