Business owner "Emma" stated that she removed $870 from the safe and left the money unsecured and readily available for her employees, who would arrive early the next morning.

When employees arrived, the money was gone, but a cell phone was found where the money was last seen. Emma determined the phone belonged to a former employee, who had been recently fired.

There were no signs of forced entry. The door has a security code that several employees possess, but Emma said she believes the access code was changed after the employee had been fired.

Police were unable to verify the owner of the cell phone.

Store manager "Tim" stated that the door was locked the previous night. The next morning, employees found the front door broken. A basketball-sized rock inside the business had apparently been used to smash the glass.

Tim stated it did not appear than anything had been taken. The damage to the door is estimated at $1,000.

Suspects gained entrance to an under-construction business on Shilshole Avenue. Inside the building, suspects used a shovel to break a dead bolt on a large steel door and enter the sales area.

"John" reported the burglary but changed his mind about filing a report when police arrived because nothing appeared to be missing. But when other employees and contractors arrived on Monday, they found two [redacted] missing as well as tools belonging to a contractor.

One of the [redacted] belonged to a customer. John said the store would reimburse the customer for it, making the store the official victim. The other [redacted] belonged to one of the co-owners.
