The co-owner of the Copperhouse restaurant says that back-to-back break-ins that occurred on Friday is just the cost of doing business.

SA国际影视传媒淚t was not the best way to wake up on a on a Friday, which is kind of your big day of the week,SA国际影视传媒 said Mark Henry.

He says the first crime occurred around 2:30 a.m., when a lone man smashed the drive-through window with a rock, snuck in, stole a bottle of alcohol from the shelf and then left. For some reason, the break-in didnSA国际影视传媒檛 trip the alarm at the Range Lake Road restaurant.

The same man allegedly came back at 6:30 a.m., but this time he wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 quite as successful.

SA国际影视传媒淔unny enough, he grabbed a bottle of (Budweiser) Prohibition (an alcohol-free variety of beer), which I donSA国际影视传媒檛 think he was looking for, but thatSA国际影视传媒檚 what he took,SA国际影视传媒 said Henry.

Henry said the suspect, who was caught on camera, was already known to the , and was quickly picked up.

In total, Henry estimates the break-in set his business back about $3,000 to $4,000.

Despite the shock of the break-in, there was no time to lose in getting the restaurant up and running.

SA国际影视传媒淲e turned it up a gear and just needed to get everything ready for service Friday night,SA国际影视传媒 said Henry.

He was impressed by the way the community came together to get the Copperhouse operational again SA国际影视传媒 particularly Diamond Glass, whose staff were able to fix the drive-through window in a matter of hours. The business was reopened by 12:30 p.m. that same day.

SA国际影视传媒淚t was our first time in four years going through that, and I was just really impressed, really appreciative of the business community and how they prioritized our situation and got us on our feet (so quickly).SA国际影视传媒

Henry is of two minds in regards to the misconduct that affected his business.

SA国际影视传媒淥n one level, itSA国际影视传媒檚 frustrating, but you also have to have empathy for whatSA国际影视传媒檚 ultimately the driver of it,SA国际影视传媒 he added, referring to various social issues.

However, he said, SA国际影视传媒淵ou also have to weigh that empathy for what drives a situation against the need for norms in society.

SA国际影视传媒淭hrowing rocks through windows at two in the morning to grab a bottle of whiskey is not normal. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 not acceptable.SA国际影视传媒
