HUTCHINS, Texas -- They've been burglarized three times in the last year, and Williams and Davis Boilers want the culprit caught.
The nearly 100-year-old family-owned business in Hutchins was forced to essentially shut down after the latest burglary early Wednesday morning.
The burglar cut dozens of copper cables from their machines, making the equipment useless until it is fixed, said co-owner Jennifer Caradine.
"Every day that we're down (costs us) $30,000 a day. That's huge," said Caradine. "We're actually after two days now trying to get back up and running."
The thief also stole some of the workers' tools and even a large welding machine, using the business' wheelbarrows and dollies to help carry them out, said Caradine.
The business added more surveillance cameras after the first burglary. Caradine checked them as soon as she realized the shop was hit.
She saw a man looking straight into the camera, then quickly covering his face. Then, he picks the camera up and tries to manipulate it. He later shines a light into it. She believes that man has answers.
"We were able to catch a very great visual of their face, they're going to be caught," said Caradine.
Caradine believes it is the same man captured on surveillance cameras during a burglary in January.
The Dallas County Sheriff's Office was not able to confirm details of the case before publication.
Caradine said the man cut a hole in a fence to get in, then tore down part of the fence to leave.
"I really wish they would have came in and just asked us for a job, like if you need money that bad," she said.
"It's like someone is breaking into your home, this is your family," she said. "Everybody's really close. It's like you're working with your family, every day."
Workers feel so passionately, they're ready to take matters into their own hands. "Some have offered to set traps," said Caradine. "We had others that came up and said 'I'll sleep up here in the shop, we're going to get this guy.'"
The family business is relying on authorities to investigate. And they hope speaking out, and showing their surveillance video, will ultimately bring justice.
