Don’t know how many of you have ever been behind the place, but it has a wooden privacy fence in the back, which gives a person plenty of hiding for doing something like this. No a vehicle wasn’t used couldn’t get it inside the fence area and too close to tracks. Having said all that, it wouldn’t matter about a patrol unit rolling by because they wouldn’t have seen anything at all. I’m just wondering why this place what was so valuable to do this?

REGARDING:
“Yes, it took a great force to open that door. I’m thinking they attached a chain to their trailer hitch on a vehicle and drove away. That would definitely snatch a heavy metal door from the building.”

Possibly, but the door isn’t obviously very strong. I could possibly open one with a crowbar unless it was a LOT stronger than it looks. Lazy as I’ve gotten these last few decades, I might use a winch but nearly any old scissors jack could also be used once it was sprung a few inches. I would have never done it but the challenge doesn’t look that great.(After all, even morons managed it.)

David for better people

The two units they have used to be a hardware store and one was a gun shop. That’s probably the reason for the ‘reinforced’ door. Some of the best people and kindest businesses in the area…. smh.

@OhYouKnow, that space used to be a hardware store. The previous owners probably put that door on, so they just kept it.

Stealing from a business that helps the poor, homeless and really anyone that asks for help. So Sad!

Yes, it took a great force to open that door. I’m thinking they attached a chain to their trailer hitch on a vehicle and drove away. That would definitely snatch a heavy metal door from the building. Thieves do it all the time snatching ATM’s.

According to Tracey Santor, a Manager for Travelers, criminals continue to use stolen equipment in smash-and-grab ATM thefts. She said lately thieves are often using a crowbar to pry the cover off of an ATM machine and a hook and chain to yank the apparatus out of the wall it is attached to. Sometimes earning $20,000.

Prayers that these thieves will be found along with the thieves that stole from Pittman Lumber.

@ Matthew Windham – in my opinion I hope you have the best security system and a few other items to bring them down if they enter your home again. Keep a watchful eye on the thief.

W.Ward…. they gotta pass a drug test and at most places a background check to get a job, not to mention actually work and be told what to do. Most people under 30 cry too loudly to hear what anyone is telling them and WILL NOT do manual labor because “it’s just too hard”
