The Ouray County Plaindealer is published on Thursdays and delivered to racks late Wednesday.
The rack price for the weekly newspaper is $1, so someone spent $12 opening racks and removing all the newspapers, Wiggins said.
They missed one newspaper rack at a coffee shop, so about 200 papers were stolen.
He believed the person who returned the newspapers was the person who took them and that only one person was involved in the theft.
Someone taped over the coin slot on the newspaper rack at the campground and covered the plexiglass window with a sign asking them to remove the rack, he said.
