Little confused about this situation. I don't understand how the owner could take such an apathetic approach. He was robbed once, so his solution was to get a 100lb safe and apparently not bold it down? What are your thoughts? What would you do to hopefully deter future attempts?
EUGENE, Ore. -- Thieves targeted the Big Town Hero on Crescent Street Tuesday night. Smashing a side door, they grabbed a very heavy safe and dragged it along the ground down a sidewalk.
The owners say a baker showed up for work at about 6 a.m. Wednesday and noticed that side laminate glass door smashed in.
The thieves allegedly went right for the 100-pound safe. Instead of trying to crack it open, they dragged it across the floor and out through a side door. Inside that safe was about $1,500, a days worth of sales.
"They know who they are going to hit. They have a timetable of when they're going to hit them and as we get better, they'll get better. Now that we are getting heavier safes, they'll probably come in with a dolly. Now that they know we have laminate glass, they'll come in with a mallet," said owner K. Wells.
This same Big Town Hero location was targeted in December. Thieves got away with about $2,000 then. Even with a heavier safe and increased security, this shop got hit again.
There was no surveillance video taken, so there is no suspect description. If you have any information about this robbery, call Eugene Police.
