Friends shop Robbed

Sara is a great girl. Her work has come a very long way in a very short time, I'm VERY proud of what she's accomplished within that short time, and her progression within the game we call tattooing. Now some assholes robbed her and took it all away right before the holidays, and as you know, this is the slow season for many of us as it is- Read on... My shop has been robbed. Saturday night some people broke into my shop and they stole everything. I am basically put out of business. Eleven tattoo machines, my autoclave, ultrasonic cleaner, every bottle of ink, every tube and needle in the place is gone. The police are doing nothing to help! My entire livelyhood has been taken away from me. The perpetrators even had time enough to go through all my reference books and selectively take the ones they wanted. I thought my place was safe. There were bars on the windows and a board in brackets over the back door. I never thought anyone would have the nerve or could get away with breaking the front door in. Its on the main street in the center of town. They must have turned all the lights on and been in here for at least an hour. When I asked the policeman what happened and why I was not protected he was rude to me and said "here are my keys, YOU protect all of Swanton.." and he threw his card at my feet and left, slamming the door and breaking the rest of the glass out of it as he left. I really thought my place was protected. Now I am out approximately $7-8,000 worth of equipment. If there is anyone who has anything they could donate please call (802)868-4711. Everything I needed to tattoo is gone. 3 power supplies, clipcords, footpedals,..everything. I have tried in life to be good to people and live respectfully. This shop is my dream come true. I just cant understand why. I am devasted by this. If anyone knows anything or can do anything to help a fellow artist out, please call. Thank you.

I'd like to help with a machine or two and some ink! Phone number would be appreciated. You may want to check e-bay to see if any of your things appear on there. Sorry that happened to you.
