Hall County Commissioner Jeff Stowe wants the thieves who burglarized his store caught and the electronics returned, and commissioners are considering rules that may do that. Stowe’s retail store, Home Electronics Rent To Own, has had its front windows smashed three times in the past two years. Laptops, televisions and other electronics were stolen and while Stowe had registration numbers and video surveillance, there was nothing he could do.
