Cameras were stolen from a Hilltop photography studio and the store owner is wondering how it all happened.
Robert Holman had more cameras than he could count.
But early Tuesday morning, his business was broken into with thousands of dollars of his cameras gone in a flash.
“The camera room was ransacked right good. They took all of equipment that we had that was digital or they thought was digital. But they left the film cameras,” says Holman.
The door they broke through has been replaced.
But the shattered glass reminds Holman of what happened.
He’s not sure if they were photography buffs or just run of the mill burglars.
“I don’t think they had any idea of the street value of what they took,” says Holman.
hat they took can only be described as peculiar. Just feet from where the crooks broke in, was an expensive projector that went untouched.
They at least had the decency to gently put the portraits down, so that they were not ruined.
Holman’s run his business with his fiancé for 22 years.
He said he has never had any problems. But he worries break-ins are spreading to Hilltop.
“The businesses are a lot of mom and pop businesses and we’re easy to get into and taken advantage of in this down economy,” says Holman.
