we waited all night for you to take pics of our crime scene. Are DC not a priority?

Attempts to Break in to bacio&greenpaws twice in a week

We have some troubling news and wanted to let you and the Bloomingdale blog community know about it. Tonight we suffered our second break-in attempt in two days. The first one occurred Wednesday night -- someone tried to get in to the store through Green Paws, with two others as look-outs (as we saw later on our security cameras). We're still trying to learn what happened late last night -- but what we do know is that someone smashed a rock through the big Bacio window. Luckily no one was hurt.

Obviously we've filed police reports. Still, we find the fact that the robbers felt comfortable coming back the second night and weren't deterred when they did return incredibly worrisome. We feel like we should have had a much stronger police presence after the first attempt, and we hope there's something we can do through the Bloomingdale community to encourage that. Bacio is on a residential street, and if these guys feel comfortable hitting our store repeatedly, who knows whose home could be next?

We really appreciate you getting the word out.

Any chance Attila could post his security video similar to what the MPD does so that those in the neighborhood can help to identify the criminals?
