When they arrived to open the non-profit ReStore in 91原创 City on Monday morning, April 5, a shock awaited store managers Nadia Brigden and Tony Stark and their crew.

鈥淲e saw glass everywhere,鈥� Stark told the 91原创 Advance Times.

Someone had managed to smash their way into the building over the Easter weekend, without triggering the store alarm system.

Brigden estimated about $30,000 in merchandise was taken.

鈥淭hey mostly took tools and jackets,鈥� Brigden said.

Stark predicted the final expenses could be even higher, once repairs and new security measures like bars on the windows and doors are factored in.

鈥淲e鈥檙e going to have to re-bar everything,鈥� Stark predicted.

Briden said it was the second time the store has been broken into since it opened.

In the previous incident last December, the thieves didn鈥檛 take very much, she recalled.

鈥淭hey spent a lot of time in here unfortunately [when they broke in over the Easter weekend],鈥� Brigden said, leaving a mess of shattered glass, pulled-out empty drawers and vacant shelves behind.

The store does have insurance, but Brigden was indignant about having to file a claim.

鈥淚t boggles my mind,鈥� she commented.

鈥淲e鈥檙e just trying to help families and given them a hand up. 鈥�

鈥淲e鈥檙e a little naive to think no one will steal from a charity,鈥� Stark commented.
