*What kind of high quality yarn is JoAnns slinging these days?
*Sewing machines? Ottlites? Good scissors? Just trying to think what might have street value. Surely not floral stems or cards of buttons?
*Sounds like a bunch of heads doing these crimes. Who steals from a fabric store?
*Really, people? JoAnns Fabrics is what you choose to rob? May be they had a crafting emergency and really needed the supplies.
*Scrap booking has been taken to the next level!
*Pretty much what I was thinking. What losers steal from a craft store? What did they take...glue guns, material, or pipe cleaners
*Those scrap book cutter machine thingies are pretty pricey. Can't imagine they have much street value though.
*I really need to know what they stole!!!
* Cricut machine?
Now this is just one of the craft stores that I frequent, but normally always during the day. I know some of the comment were funny, but what the heck were three young men stealing from there?! The cash registers are up front, so maybe it was just the money? Using pepper spray was scary too.
In other news in our area, we had another tornado hit near us this afternoon. Last week it was to the east of us, this one was to the west of us. Nathan was at school and had to shelter in place, again. Gman1 was there to pick him up for me on his way home, and he had to shelter in the church.
There are some pictures on Scott E's Blog, and a video that was taken two miles from our house.
All those down trees all over the place meant traffic was a hot mess for hours! No batting practice for Nathan.
As far as I know, I haven't heard of any houses or buildings that were damaged, so that's good.
Let's hope the rest of the summer is uneventful!

THAT is scary. Not good at all. I go to our JoAnn store. :( I could not imagine this happening. We hear tornado sirens frequently in the Spring. I am so glad you are safe.
Astrid: What the heck is the matter with some people, I bet they stole it and gave it as a gift, what a bunch of turds.
Wow that video is amazing.

It seems to be the same everywhere nowadays, thugs robbing all sorts of places.
Scarey times with the tornado, good to read you are all safe xx
You must live by the High Quality Joann Fabrics! You just never know what goes thru people's minds these days. They must have thought there was lots of cash in there.
Another tornado too... hope this will be your last for a very long while!
Haha I agree with all the comments. What a weird store to rob. Glad no one was seriously hurt.
Glad everyone was safe. This weather has been crazy! We got hail twice before bed Saturday.
