"Disappointing" and "discouraging" are two words Husker football coach Scott Frost used in a statement to describe how he feels after his home was burglarized over the weekend.

Police released Monday morning that 14 championship rings, including two from Nebraska, five pairs of Oregon Duck Air Jordans and a Wii gaming system were stolen from Frost’s garage.

We know now all of the championship rings have been found in his garage, along with the Wii gaming system. Still missing, police said, are the Air Jordans and other sports memorabilia including football helmets.

Police initially reported the loss at $165,000. Frost said in a statement he now believes the loss may be lower. 

The crime happened sometime between 5:30 Friday night and 6:00 Sunday night.

The items were stored in the garage at Frost’s home near 27 and Pine Lake Road, in The Ridge neighborhood. 

"Entry was gained through the garage, we think possibly through an unlocked door," Captain Jeri Roeder, with the Lincoln Police Department said. 

Frost and his family aren’t living in the house right now, as it’s being renovated. Channel 8 talked to the owner of Maher Custom Homes, who are doing the renovation. He said they never leave the door unlocked and he didn’t know valuables were in the garage.

Police don’t have any suspects, and are asking you to keep an eye out for the stolen items.

"Obviously collectibles like this people attempt to be sold somewhere, online or through other brokers, if anyone happens to hear any information about these collectible items being sold we’d appreciate it if you contacted the Lincoln Police Department at 402-441-6000," Roeder said. 

In the wake of the crime, Husker fans are angry and sharing it on social media.

Cameron Webber posted on Facebook, "some people are absolutely pathetic. Welcome back to Lincoln, coach."

Jon Miller said on twitter "If criminals who stole Scott Frost’s memorabilia think for a second there is going to be a way to sell this for big money and Husker Nation won’t turn them in, they’re in for a rude awakening."

Another fan, Melanie Worstell said on Twitter, "Dude who stole from Scott Frost = enemy of the state."

UPDATE:

Head coach Scott Frost released a statement on burglary of his home. 

“The incident that occurred at our home is obviously very disappointing and discouraging," Frost said in the statement. "All of our belongings were gone through and it will take some time to determine exactly what is missing and the value of those items."

He went on to say some items initially reported as missing, including some of the rings, were found and the value of what is missing may be lower than initially reported.

Lincoln Police are investigating after almost $200,000 worth of collectibles were taken from Husker football coach Scott Frost’s home near 27th and Pine Lake over the weekend. 

Among the items taken are 14 championship rings, including two from the University of Nebraska, 10 from the University of Oregon and two from the University of Central Florida. 

Also missing are five pairs of Oregon Duck Air Jordan tennis shoes and a black Wii gaming console.

Police said the burglar got in through an unlocked door to the garage, where these items were being stored. 

The house is being renovated, so Frost is not living in it at this time, police said.

We talked to the owner of the company renovating the home, Maher Custom Homes, he said he never leaves the door unlocked and didn’t know there were valuables in the garage.

Lincoln Police are asking for the community’s help. Captain Jeri Roeder said the burglar will likely try and sell the collectible items and if anybody sees or hears about an attempt to sell them to call police at 402-441-6000.
