Sure hope they catch the person. Anyone that is capable of doing something like that shouldn't be walking the streets. Scary for the workers I am sure..

broke in.. busted the glass off all the light bulbs.. and broke the gas line open... guys get there for work in the morning and turn the lights on and BOOM!!! the exposed filaments glow and burn out. But not before sparking the gas. At least thats the idea.. thats what really happend.. DMG needs to get the facts..

What's the incentive of breaking into an empty building? Sounds kind of strange. Probably some drunk delinquent tech kids looking for some fun. Perhaps an initiation ritual for a frat? Dumb-a-s-s-es.
