'You feel so defiled when people come in and steal ... God's stuff'
By KVAL.com staffEUGENE, Ore. -- Thieves cut their way into a shed and stole paintball guns from a church youth group by cutting through the lock after destroying the reinforced metal shroud installed to try and prevent thieves from striking again.
The $10,000 worth of paintball guns and other equipment are used by a youth camp operated by the church. This is the third time thieves have hit the church in the last year.
Three weeks ago, thieves broke into a property the church is remodeling next door and stole $5,000 worth of tools. Kaminski said he is at a loss after thieves broke into the secured shed. Hear more about the crimes from the church pastor: |

"You feel so defiled when people come in and steal this stuff, which is God's stuff -- it belongs to him," said Pastor Greg Kaminski, who has been with Westside Baptist Church on Echo Hollow Road for 30 years.
In December 2008, thieves stole $12,000 worth of paintball equipment.
