Lewis said he called police when he found out, but he said it was not only jewelry that was stolen. The small business' sense of peace was also taken. "This place is our sanctuary," he said. "I've worked really, really hard to make sure this is a safe place for her and so the violation is what really hurts me the most." It is a violation the owners of La Salsa, a restaurant located next door, are feeling, too. On Monday afternoon, BC Modern's cameras showed a suspect – who appeared to be wearing the same clothing – sneak into the restaurant.
