Burglars entered Gary Satterwhite’s White’s Auto Store in La Grange sometime during the night on Saturday or early Sunday and made off with a quantity of merchandise. Intruders broke a skylight on the top of the building, crawled between the double floors – two feet apart – and knocked down a number of 1x6-inch ceiling boards over the block ceiling tile to drop to the floor some 12 feet below. Although Mr. Satterwhite had not yet completed a full inventory, he knew the loot taken included several guns, a television set, a stereo and several tape decks.
