Burglars hit the popular in the West Seattle neighborhood of Seattle early on March 1.

They smashed through the front doors and rummaged through the pub, looking for anything of value.

Thousands of dollars stolen from West Seattle pub

They left with loose change and bottles of liquor, but the damage left behind — estimated at more than $6,000 — is most troubling for the owners.

“I feel really bad for them. It鈥檚 hard,” neighbor Laura Clark said. “Profit margins are small with these independent businesses, and I think it’s really important for the neighborhood to have these independent businesses. They bring a lot to the community.”

Once word spread about the burglary, customers, neighboring businesses and local residents responded to help the pub recoup its losses.

A page has been set up, and by Thursday night, over $3,850 had been raised. The goal is $6,000.

The owners, in part, wrote the following on the GoFundMe website:

We do our best to plan for these days, but they always come when you least expect them. If you would like to support us here are 2 ways you can support us: You can donate to our gofundme, or you can come out next week to 听辞谤听. We will have drink specials and it will be a fundraiser for the new doors and lost liquor (that was stolen). Any kind of support would be greatly appreciated. We love you all!

鈥淚 think it’s really up to the community to watch each other鈥檚 back and try to keep an eye out when you can,” Anytime Fitness worker Kerry Kuntz said. “It鈥檚 unfortunate that it has to be that way, but I think that鈥檚 the best way to all keep each other safe.鈥
