Collins inks three-year deal to return to Redskins
The deal includes a $3 million signing bonus for Collins, who led the Redskins to the four-game winning streak that clinched a surprise NFC wild-card playoff berth last season. Collins, 36, had offers from Washington and Jacksonville to consider shortly after free agency opened at 12:01 a.m. on Friday. And while the Jaguars' offer was said to be very competitive with Washington's, Collins had told the Redskins they would have every opportunity to retain him. Collins' contract raises the bar for backup quarterback pay in the NFL. His $3 million yearly average is a reflection of his value to the Redskins, whose 2007 season appeared to be over before the 13-year veteran took over for the injured Jason Campbell in Week 14, getting his first starting opportunity since playing for Buffalo in 1997.

And they often have no recourse. "It's the people who are in those desperate situations or are in huge debt who are falling for these scams," Deery said, and "It's hard to find out who is really behind it and who is really accountable."Bozeman Police Lt. Rich McLane said the department receives several calls about scams a month, although people are not falling for them."We're not getting as many calls of people actually getting scammed," McLane said.
Several Guilford Homes Burglarized
GUILFORD, Conn. -- A string of burglaries in Guilford prompts residents to lock their doors and keep an eye out for their neighbors. Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Hena Daniels reported six burglaries were reported this week, one of which was reported on Wednesday.

Investigators said the assailant has forced his way into houses virtually uninhibited during the day. A victim told Eyewitness News that the assailant entered her house through a basement door. Daniels reported police believe the assailant may have entered houses through a window or doors, sometimes using remote garage door openers to gain entry into the houses.
