The auto repair shop off Central and Edwards was wiped clean of 250-300 old rotors, each weighing 15-30 pounds. The cash value for the scrap metal ranges from $500-$1,000.
All that money was going to be used to improve the store and things like that..so its definitely an effect on us, said store Manager, Scott Michel.
