The Dallas Police Department sends word: It's looking for the men who broke into the Redeemed Christian Church at 2636 Walnut Hill Lane two weeks ago and stole what looks like a truckload of electronics -- flat-screen TVs, keyboards, speakers, you name it. According to the DPD, the "church has been burglarized numerous times since November 2009." The only thing they didn't steal: the cameras apparently in every room of the building, including the sanctuary.
