So I was standing at the rear entrance to Kuntriset Kitchens & Bath Design examining the damage left behind by what I assumed was a pry bar and sledge hammer. The owner, Mike, explained that the men entered the building by forcing open the two steel back doors which were locked and deadbolted.

I asked, “Wow, how much is it going cost you to get everything fixed?”

“Oh, about three grand, maybe a little more,” said Mike, shaking his head.

“How much did they take?”

“In total I think they took forty dollars,” said Mike.

Kuntriset was only one of four or more places broken into last Friday. In every instance, far more damage was done gaining entry than was taken. At one location nothing was stolen because they’re wasn’t really anything of immediate value. I suppose part of the burglar’s thrill in breaking and entering is the gambler’s game of chance.
