Burglars who broke into the Rutter Lumber Co., El Monte, recently were evidently so mad when they couldn't crack the safe in the office that they left the place a shambles. Owner Cullen Bivens estimated at $750 the wanton vandalism, which included smashing screen doors, damaging walls, scattering paint, tools, plumbing supplies and nails, and mixing paint, glues and wood filler and spreading the concoction over the floors; not to mention throwing adding machine tape around like streamers. They pounded the safe's dial with a hammer, knocked the hinges loose and tried a hacksaw. As a final injury, they soldered Dealer Bivens' file cabinet and desk drawer so he was unable to get into them.
