Community Burglars ransacked the of­ fice of the Chain Of Lakes Sand and Gravel pit and stole ap­ proximately forty dollars one recent night. Also missing are seven or eight keys to equip­ ment in the pit located at the intersection of Lily Lake and River roads. Apparently, the thieves en­ tered the office by kicking the back door, forcing its latch to snap open. Once in the build­ ing, they rummaged through cabinets and drawers and found a cash box with between $35 and $40 in it. While stealing the money, the burlaVs tore up the company's receipt tickets and scattered the pieces over the office. The ignition keys to seven or eight front-end loaders and road graders were also taken. How­ ever, none of the equipment seemed to be harmed. Witnesses saw three motor- cyclisits near the pit during the night. While investigating the scene, a sheriffs deputy found tire marks in the sand.
