This is the kind of thing my father used to refer to as "a crying shame."
Mrs. Annette Griffith informs the Signal that her business, Hen House Antiques, was broken into sometime Monday evening or Tuesday morning. The police believe the break-in was probably the work of teenagers as the only items stolen were Cokes from the freezer. In the course of their vandalism, the thieves damaged the front door of the of the business and broke the front display window.
