SAMMAMISH, Wash. — Whoever took off with 54 new soccer balls and other paraphernalia from a high school ticket booth took a lot of time so as not "to make a big mess," puzzled investigators say.
A quarter-inch-thick glass pane weighing about 30 pounds was carefully removed and placed against the outside of the booth near Eastlake High School sometime between March 4 and 6, when the burglary was discovered, said King County sheriff's Deputy Stanley J. Chapin, a school resource officer.
It wasnt a smash and grab "They removed the entire window to the ticket booth. It took some time," Chapin said.

Besides the balls, new with a list price of $54.99 each, six black nylon bags, 16 reversible Brine vests known in soccer as "pinnies" and 100 squat cones of various colors for use as field markers, Chapin said. He gave the total value at $3,562.
The burglary was discovered March 6, a Monday, when a coach opened the booth and found the equipment gone.
Chapin said this week that investigators obtained a set of latent fingerprints but have been unable to pinpoint who might be responsible.
(1 question) Does that still construe as Breaking and entering?
If not maybe the thief was thinking. I'd watch E-bay or every play-it-again sports closely.
