It seems that no Ballard business is exempt from the recent string of overnight burglaries: Abraxus Books on 24th was hit late last week.

Owner Tony Topalian said it’s the first time his business has been burglarized. The crooks took a crowbar to the cash register.

And just a few weeks after burglars broke into Source Salon on Leary, it happened again. “Saw the same window broken and the same 2 cops responding around 6:45 this morning,” wrote My Ballard reader “Bama Girl” on Friday. Since the last burglary, Source Salon had bolted down their computers. Co-owner Tia Cochran told us the burglars bent one of the Macs, but couldn’t pull them off the counter. (Thanks Bama Girl and Cindy for the tips!)

Here i wanna tell you one thing. Truly I trust that we are all in uncharted territory both economically and socially. And this is true. You are not absurd. Very clear you are.
