The owner, Rob Neville, stunned by the real-time theft, managed to recover some stolen items before they vanished. Community support has been overwhelming, helping his business stay afloat despite the loss—and reigniting faith in people. A beer bottle left behind may hold DNA clues, and cops are urgently seeking witnesses or CCTV footage from August 17–18. If you saw anything, contact police—this case is still unfolding.
