The Mills County, Iowa sheriff announced Wednesday that a large amount of items stolen from sites in metro Omaha and throughout southwest Iowa were recovered during a raid on Pacific Junction residence.

A search warrant was issued for 20423 Fanch Road and law enforcement officers from 19 jurisdictions participated in a search of the property on Tuesday.

The home is owned by Jack Grosvenor III. He was not there when the warrant was served. Authorities want to talk to him.

Grosvenor is no stranger to law enforcement. In 2003, he was featured as Heartland's Most Wanted in connection with a chop shop. "We've kind of been doing some investigating the last few months regarding this individual and we just in the last couple of days got some information," says Mills County Sheriff Mack Taylor.

The cache is so massive authorities are using trailers to load it all up.

"I'll say we have one of everything, if not two of some things,” says Sheriff Taylor. “There's construction stuff, industrial stuff, household things. We have power washers, we have a skid loader, a very large air compressor, an industrial-type air compressor. It's quite an enormous amount. I know we've got stuff stolen from over in Nebraska, several places here in Iowa."

The investigation is continuing and so far, no arrests have been made. If you believe any of the stolen items may belong to you, call the Mills County Sheriff's Department at 712-527-4871.

Why in the world would he take all of this?? Obviously there were more people involved by the size of some of the stuff. There must be so much more to this story! Can't judge someone without the full story. Maybe my family's birth cert. are there and stereo from truck recovered?! Any possible relation to the recent identity theft ring busted in omaha? Betcha drugs are involved =<. Where is the owner? If he was being investigated, shouldn't they know his where abouts and the last time he was seen at the home? And what ever came of the 2003 issue? Why would he take all of that and leave much of it out in plain site? Seems like a cry for help if you ask me. Doesn't seem like it was for profit so why else??

I hope they had a search warrent. It's illegal to search without a warrent.
