Not the first time it was broken into. Just don't think the other time made the news because of what was stolen

Looking at his Facebook page, Hoose admittedly has some good ideas for the use of the facility, right down to a map of what he'd like to see done. Problem is, his execution, as well as his past online and other conduct, is his biggest roadblock.
