EUGENE, Ore. -- A University of Oregon student charged with burglary may have committed as many as 20 burglaries in the campus area over winter break, police say.

Adam Wayne Klunder, 21, has been charged with one count of first degree burglary. Investigators are looking into additional charges as they begin to link the recovered property to additional burglaries.

Police think Klunder was trying to sell the items on eBay and Craigslist. Investigators looked into Klunder after a victim spotted what she believed was her snowboard for sale on Craigslist.

Among the items police say they found at Klunder residence were flat screen televisions, numerous laptops, iPods and Xbox game systems. Based on the items found at Klunder's residence, police suspect he may have been involved in as many as 20 burgarlies.

Police say there were more than 80 reported burglaries at student rentals during the three-week winter break.

Victims are currently being contacted by detectives to reunite them with their property and are asked to wait for notification prior to making inquiries on specific items recovered.

While connections are being made to multiple burglaries in this case, police suspect that there are other unrelated individuals who committed crimes in the recent winter burglary spree.
