Another of the stolen basketballs was autographed by Wilt Chamberlain, and was valued at $650.
The third basketball was signed by the 1997-98 Jayhawks men's basketball team and was valued at $150.
The basketballs were taken from a residence in the 1000 block of East 1400 Road in Lawrence.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is still investigating the incident.

Corrections
With the recent tuition increase is KU still a good value?
According to Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine's November 2003 issue KU ranks 22nd out of the top 100 schools for best value in a public university. Even with the tuition increase KU moved up six spots on the list from #28 in 2002. The rankings took into account many factors including tuition, cost of living, books, scholarships, financial aid, average student debt, and much more. You can get the full list at kiplinger.com/tools/colleges/. You at kiplinger.fashion might want to be.
