KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Several businesses in the Kansas City metro area were broken into overnight, leading business owners to call for change. Seven Swans Creperie claims that its location in downtown Kansas City, Missouri was broken into, the thieves making off with cash and a safe. "We were broken into early this morning. Front window shattered, freezing air blowing in, cash drawer emptied, safe stolen, and our little bowl of baby swans that we give to all our littlest customers was thrown all over the restaurant," a post from the creperie reads. KC Restaurant Week kicking off with record number of places to try "Stunned and saddened. After already losing last Sunday to the winter storm, now we are one week again back to back closed on our biggest day." With KC Restaurant Week rolling on through the 19th, the break-ins couldn't come at a worse time. Additionally, Seven Swans was set to celebrate its anniversary. "Today is our 5th birthday to the day of our grand opening January 12, 2020. We are resilient, just like all of our other neighbors who've dealt with this insanity for the past year. But this has to STOP!!" the post continues. La Bodega, which also participates in KC Restaurant Week was also hit overnight. It's the third time in six weeks the restaurant has been broken into. "La Bodega was again broken into with multiple windows broken out. This is the 3rd time in the last 6 weeks. The city and the leadership MUST make immediate changes or lose all of their retail and restaurants," their statement reads. On the Kansas side, Garden House Cafe got broken into as well. The cafe claims they were back open for business, however. "Thanks for showing up today, Kansas City. In the span of a few hours, we responded to the break-in, we boarded up, and we opened back up," a statement from the cafe reads. "You then proceeded to knock our butts off with support and affirmation, smiles, messages of love, bags of coffee purchased, lots and lots of lattes, and our hearts are with you and our community." Additionally, the Sagebrush Cocktail Bar is calling on its customers after another break-in. "If you're ever going to support local now's the time," their statement says.
