So I was planning on going to go to my proshop today and play paintball, but it turns out that they had a break in last night, and some people like messed up the store and took some things.  Funny thing is, you can tell that they don't know anything about paintball, because instead of taking a shocker, they took a 98c lol.  But they still got away with some nice guns, barrels, tanks and things like that, like impulses, angels, and a bunch of 98c's and a-5's I guess.  Not only did they take the stores things, but people that left their guns to get repaired lost their guns as well, so that sucks.  They also smashed the showcase, and the computer he had there.  They are currently checking for finger prints and things like that, so hopefully they can get some leads, but I doubt that will happen, they didn't have camera's in the shop either.

They brought in the dogs, and they followed a trail to a house a way's down the road, but they haven't gotten a search warrent yet, so I'm not sure if they are even gonna bother.

The good news is, that the store will be open again tommoro,  I also talked to the owner, he didn't even seem that mad.

So if anyone see's people selling brand new high end guns on ebay, pbreview, pbnation etc...in the south eastern michigan area, maybe ask some questions, or send me the link to the page, some other people and I are keeping our eyes open for the owner.

That happened to a paintball field about a hour drive from me. They had all their 98c rental guns stolen. I went to play that weekend and my gun broke down. So I had to rent so terrible Brass Eagle. I still have nightmares from that day. That gun broke a ball every other shot.
