The owner of Mojo Burger said he has been burglarized twice this week – in the latest heist, the suspects made off with a safe that was bolted to the floor.
Peter Favre told NBC Bay Area that his San Jose restaurant was burglarized on Monday and sometime Thursday or early Friday morning – he got a call from police about 5:30 a.m. to say his shop in the 1100 block of Bird Avenue in Willow Glen had been robbed.
“They removed the safe bolted to the ground and got out the back door,” a frustrated Favre said, adding that he was told by the glass company that 11 restaurants in the nearby area had also been hit. “Obviously, there’s a serious group going around hitting restaurants.
Video surveillance of Monday’s burglary showed a young man in a hoodie breaking in with his body and then getting away very quickly.
Favre also took aim at police and the mayor, for what he sees as an ineffective law enforcement system, especially in a tony party of town. Police declined to comment and Mayor Sam Liccardo was out of town. “I felt five times safer in Costa Rica than I do in Willow Glen,” Favre said. “There are basic things in life and safety is one of them.”
I thought Favre had finally retired for good.
Jumping the shark moment: When ESPN had a reporter glued to Favre’s house to await any movement and a graphic read “BREAKING NEWS: No update on Favre decision” (or something similar.
If you’re a foreign tourist, would you visit the states? I am sure they have to hear about our crime.
Judges, lawyers, and politicians have failed us.
Love Mojo Burgers.
He and his wife are just the best and they run a real good chain.
When she is in the Willow Glen she gives me extra fries.
Yummm!
I did learn a lesson from the Clinton years. Parsing. It all depends on what the meaning of us is. If us means judges, lawyers and politicians then your wrong for "they" have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in funneling our money into their pockets through the use of convoluted (and secret unread) laws. But if by us you mean "we the people" then sadly you are correct.
So true. Judges, lawyers, and politicians churn the system. You’ve got people with 4o+’arrest still getting taxpayer paid court appointed attorneys. The judges churn them back out so we can do it again and again.
Lawyers run for political office so they can write laws for lawyers to have more work. The citizens are the losers in this deal. Common sense has flown out the window and they’re robbing us blind.
Did they mean to type a tiny part of town?
Typo...should be “the tony part of town.”
Tony — fashionable among wealthy or stylish people.
“a tony restaurant”
synonyms: stylish, fashionable, high-class, uptown, posh; salubrious
“a tony young man in his designer duds”
Okay, never heard that expression before.
Tony means trendy among the stylish or weslthy. Willow Glen is considered a “village.” I wouldn’t say it’s considered as upscale as Palo Alto or Los Altos, but I guess as part of San Jose it’s nicer.
