A Washington County, Oregon, mineral museum is short many of its gold rocks after they were stolen on Christmas Eve.

In the early morning of Dec. 24, an unidentified man was captured on video smashing his way into the Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks & Minerals.

Responding to an alarm, authorities arrived to discover broken windows and numerous missing gold pieces from the museum.

Despite finding footprints and other track marks near the scene of the crime, police haven’t found the suspect.

The police have not released a total accounting of what was stolen.
