   But the theft of a $500,000 violin and $40,000 worth of ceremonial Japanese kimonos allegedly netted Robert Eaton Deberry only $350 and an arrest warrant on felony charges.

   "He had [Deberry] give him his license and gave him $350 for it," Elliott said.

   "I still think [Deberry] is around the area."
   
   At the time of the burglary, Deberry stood 6 feet tall and weighed about 220 pounds. Elliott's informant said Deberry had been on the west side of Durham around the Fargo Street and Lakewood Avenue areas.
   
   Elliott asks anyone with information about Deberry to call him at 560-1020, ext. 230, or CrimeStoppers at 683-1200.
