To all the friends that came to help me pick up the glass and offered to help clean up, or just to offer moral support... thank you, this is the only reason I keep this store open, times like this really make me question why I even keep this store open. We will get through this tough ordeal, and I really appreciate everyone who helped and will help us through.

that blows. i have personally done business with the guys both over the web and in person... i have yet to find anyone who can beat their prices, their expediency, their courteous staff, and the new stuff they always seem to have before anybody else. these are awesome guys and i really hate to see this happen.

i'll be keeping an eye out.

Damn, thats the store I go to.....sux

Damn theaves! Because of theaves, our shop has an acre that house our equipment and supplies and now looks like a prison yard with razor wire and strobes.

sorry to hear that some turd loser broke in.. as hard of a business as this is... it will slow anyone down, i hope you find the rat bastid!
