Quitman, Texas-based discount building-material supplier G&S Sales told police that 30 windows and 57 pre-hung door units, a combined value of more than $18,000, were stolen from its yard the evening of Nov. 9, the Wood County Democrat reports. General manager B.J. Steele said this is the second break-in at the store in the last month.
