Parts Stolen from Cars Up for Veteran's Donation at Galen's Auto Body

Wheels and batteries were stolen Sunday night from cars being repaired to donate to veterans at Galen's Auto Body.

The shop's owner Galen Hassler said he found out car parts were gone Monday morning when he looked at the shop's garage. 

"It seems like they went through almost all the vehicles (donated cars) and stole things out of them," Hassler said. No customer cars were included in the damage. 

Four brand-new wheels including the tires and rims as well as seven batteries were lost. The estimated cost is $1,700, Hassler said.
