Same story, different day. Yes, we were broken into yet again. Came into another smashed window and bars pried off the wall. That is the bad news. The good news is our procedures to remove all cash from the premises every night was followed and nothing was taken. Unfortunately we did not catch it on video. We will be installing even more cameras as we learn and have put new and longer bolts into the bars in hopes they cannot be as easily pried off. We want to thank you our community for your continued support through all of this and look forward to serving you as usual.

It has been a very rough 2 months here. As many of you know we were robbed when an employee accidentally left a door unlocked last month. Well this morning we came into another break in, but a much more brazen one. We are a small business that honestly most of the time exists week to week like so many people in this country. We were hit much harder this time. In addition to them stealing our cash drawer yet again, they also stole some of our electronics including a laptop computer. The broke the locks off our tool sheds. In order to stay in business we do much of the maintenance and repairs around the building ourselves. Many of the tools we use to do this work were stolen. We are honestly heartbroken. The police have opened an investigation but we know as well as they do that the odds of getting any of our stuff back are very low. We love this community and want to be able to continue serving it, but we need help. We had just recovered from the last robbery and this hit is far worse than the previous one. If the robberies weren’t bad enough, between the first one and this one, we also had our page stolen and permanently deleted losing the thousands of followers and reviews we had gathered over the years. So, if you would like to help, please come dine with us over the next couple of weeks and like our page and leave us reviews. We really need as much business as we can handle to bounce back from all of this, but we remain optimistic as we know we live in an overwhelming supportive community.
