A Penn Township woman was charged and taken to prison after she allegedly broke into her ex-boyfriend's home and stole some belongings, including a sex toy.

Kathy M. Klunk, 52, of the first block of Marietta Avenue, allegedly entered Peter Cooper's Conewago Township home and took about $10,000 worth of gold, diamond rings, a greeting card and an adult sex toy, according to an affidavit filed with District Judge Daniel Bowman.

Peter Cooper called police to report a non-active burglary on March 7 after he and his wife, Sandra Cooper, noticed the missing items.

He also told police that he had started dating Klunk when he thought his marriage was ending, but then broke up with her when he and Sandra Cooper made amends, which left Klunk upset, police said in the affidavit.
