This was much worse than an average burglary.

A Hatboro man took something from an Abington family that no amount of restitution can fully replace, according to a story in The Reporter.

Zacharia C. Dinnis, 33, was ordered on June 2 to pay $5,000 in restitution to the family whose jewelry he stole on September 28, the report states.

Dinnis stole five gold rings valued at $4,100 before selling them, according to the report.
