Holy _#0@!!!

I worry someone would do this in a house break in all the time but to ransack a store is beyond words.

Omg... It was so nice and fresh in there when I was down in April. So sorry there are people who don't give a Crap about all the beauty they destroyed. Good luck getting everything cleaned up.

How heartbreaking. Sorry to hear about your losses Kevin. I hope they catch the bleepholes who did this and they get to become some big con's plaything in prison.

Sorry to hear about your situation Kevin. I can't imagine walking through the doors of the store the next morning. This is always my greatest fear for LFS (that and people pouring toxins in the tanks). I don't understand why people would hurt and kill innocent animals like this. My heart goes out to you and everyone involved with your store.

It makes me sick to think someone would have a personal vendetta such as this, my condolences to Kevin & his family I can only imagine how much effort will go into fixing this.

I'm not sure why a business wouldn't want to communicate with its customers about something like this. Yes it was an awful thing to happen but why the lack of communication?

something like this not only hurts your buisness but your pride im sure thoughts have gone through their heads... if i could do it differently i would have done this to secure the store and that... please be kind ...yes there may be a lack of comunication but if i was them i wouldnt want to talk about it either. as well who knows what other personal issues are going on in thier lives on top of it. im sure if you talk to steve he can help you out with your needs its a little less convienent.. but if the store is meant to be open it will re-open... i know what it was like when someone lit my company van/mobile office/workshop on fire i almost gave up.. insurance was a bugger to deal with.. redtape and all an every time yu look at were it happened you remember what happened..

just sayin keep up the support best you can...if its meant to be it will be im sure they will apreciate the kind words along with the customer loyalty of patiently waiting. but in the end you otta do what ya gotta do. even thou i dont live there i kinda hope it re opens more so to stick it to the creaps that did it in the first place... you may make me stumble but always will i rise to the top again..

ok off my soap box now lol
