A store by the name of Blaze Chicago is a smoke shop in the Ukrainian Village area of the city. In just the last three months, this business has been broken into eight times. You can help but feel bad for the owner.

During the middle of the night, the thieves are pulling up in a stolen vehicle. They jump out to smash through the glass door and start grabbing merchandise. The suspects will bust through the window boarded up by wood. The damage costs more than the merchandise they steal.

Nothing against the business, but it doesn't seem like the type of place where you could score some serious loot. The risk is not worth the reward. Now, it appears that the thieves are doing it for kicks and not money.

Hopefully, the police can eventually catch up with the suspects. They deserve to go to jail for these acts. Also, it would be good closer for the store owner.
