My heart goes out to the owner and to the artists in residence at this working glass art studio. While what I have watched does sadden and also angers me, I will not vent on that. Instead I will pour positive energy those who share the studio space. They all are talented, fun and selfless artisans who deserve better. I truly hope those involved in this crime are found and brought to justice. I also pray that which was stolen is found and returned.

They didn't take any torches? Maybe they aren't fellow lampworkers...if they are, hope they roast in hell. Looks like they knew you had a camera, so prolly been in your space before, which isn't really a comfort...

I hope by now you've been able to get some stuff back because this sucks big time.

Doug, it sure looks as if the butt breaths that did this had cased the place and came prepared. it also looks like the one in plaid usually gives the orders to the other one.

Hope this camera has high resolution cause i cant see shit. Totally looks like they knew where to look.

I'm sure this has occured to the police: that list looks like professional thieves "stealing on order". The art pieces seem like an afterthought, some "baubles" (in their minds) to hand out. Red coat wasn't careful enough: let the hood slip and dark ponytail show, like a woman's hair pulled back, but hard to tell. Bet coats are found stuffed in some trashbin somewhere. These are not casual thieves. Question: how did they get in? They sure know where to look and what they are looking for.

They definitely looked like they knew there was a camera and where it was mounted. It also looks like they were looking for specific items. :( Good luck with getting your tools, glass and artwork back.
