That is so sad. First sonic and now these two businesses. It’s not safe anymore.

this is what happens when one 3rd of monticello is out of work.
I blame the ones who bought burlington/rug mill and shut it down forever
Every citizen needs to arm themselves and apply a shoot to kill method of self defense.
Please do not make excused for their actions! Losing Burlington did not make these criminals steal or attempt to steal! The economy is terrible everywhere but the majority of us have a job and do the very best that we can do to survive without preying on others!
I know a couple business’s that if someone gets caught doing this at night,they will be found there come morning! Jus Sayin’
I work here and i was scared to work the next day. Not only am i pissed they broke into my work place but im mad they are not caught. This is crazy nobodys safe and i wonder whats next i mean really y dont u go get a job at mcdonalds or something they always are hiring . Get a life the stupid d that broke in better get caught
Worker,were there any fingerprints taken at the scene of the crime? I had my car stereo stolen a few years ago and no prints were even taken. I was told they had just let a guy out of jail the day before who does that kind of thing and he had broken into other cars. had even been seen by one of the cars that was stolen from that night. In Iowa even lesser crimes are fingerprinted and criminals are caught.
Also,everyone blames lack of jobs and lay-offs for everything.That’s a bunch of crap! There are jobs in Monticello.It may not be what someone wants,but it will put food on the table.Let’s blame what is more likely responsible—drugs.
Make it harder to break into these establishments. This is a wake up call people. Protect your investments. We know recessions create more crime but really, burglary is not a knew crime. Get a nice Doberman and put it in your business and see what happens then. better than an alarm.
