Whoever broke into our building spent a lot of time working to enter the building. Most everything inside the building was either damaged or stolen. Our building is constructed of cement block and there is a hole about 3 feet tall and 1-1/2 feet wide on the outside of the building along with 2 other holes which are smaller. The intruder entered a second story window (after much work). Damaged about 50-75 trophies upstairs and left most everything else in a huge mess. Our entry doors was very damaged but they were unable to open it to exit. All stolen items were tossed out a window on the lower floor. With this in mind that is why they left our air compressor.
