POST FALLS, ID -- Authorities say more than 200 guns have been stolen from a Kootenai County woman's home.

The woman reported the robbery on Friday. On Monday, Kootenai County sheriff's officials were still assessing the value of the stolen weapons.

Authorities say a U.S. Springfield field grade M1 rifle was valued at $50,000 alone.

Other weapons taken from the home west of Coeur d'Alene include two Glock 19 pistols, one Doc Holiday pistol, and several Remington and Harvefter rifles.

An Olympic Arms rifle, featuring stainless steel bull barrel, and a U.S. optic scope was also stolen.

Maj. Ben Wolfinger says it's the biggest weapons heist the sheriff's department has seen.

Must have been carried by Audie Murphy or Patton himself.

200!? They must have spent hours loading all those guns into what i assume a truck or they had to make several trips. My friend's dad is a gun nut and he has around 30-50 total and it took up his whole entertainment room.

Sounds like its 'insured value' to me.

Sounds like its 'insurance fraud' to me.

I agree. Sounds exactly like insurance fraud.

I like the comments after the story. Some people apparently forget that the number of guns (or anything else) someone else owns is none of their business.

200 guns! Holy COW! WHERE would one KEEP that many in the first place?

I hope they catch the scum bags that stole them. What a travesty.

Sounds a little fishy to me....

The M1 is really worth only 45,755.00 and only because I fired it once.
But really 200 guns isn't that large. If my wife let me my office would hold 200 easy.
