PLEASE keep you eyes open and alarms on when you aren't in the shop! Play It Again Sports at Snelling and Hague had an attempted burglary this morning at 5am - Adam Hunkins, owner, put out the word that the front door was pried open and kicked in, and their alarm went off. Luckily nothing was stolen or vandalized except the broken door most likely because of the alarm going off.
