CORINTH, Texas — Owning a business is a big step for Chris Lyche. He opened GSA Coins & Jewelry in November. 

As a hard-working 21-year-old entrepreneur, he filled his store with items he had been collecting since he was 11 years old. 

"It just has always been a dream of mine," said Lyche. 

On Sunday morning, $75,000 worth of coins and jewelry were stolen from his store. 

A burglar broke the glass door and entered the building. Surveillance video shows a man prying open the back office and cabinets.

Audio is heard in the footage. The burglar asks, "Where? Here? What are you talking about?"

Lyche suspects the burglar was communicating with someone who had been in the store before. 

"He knew exactly what he was doing," he said.

The young business owner is afraid he will have the close the store he always dreamed to open.

Lyche reported the incident to the Corinth Police Department.
