Thieves broke into a Baldwin Park American Legion post, an organization that helps veterans and their families. Those thieves cleared out a rifle rack and a safe.
Somebody broke in through a side door and headed straight to the office breaking a door off its hinges to get in.
Inside the safe was about $3,000. Money to pay for their veterans programs, feed community members and buy presents for kids who might not have a Christmas. We have events such as 9/11, Thanksgiving, Christmas. And that was money for them, said Avalar.
Also in the safe were important documents. Deeds.
The post has served San Gabriel Valley veterans in the building since 1961.
Thursday night, a veteran volunteered to re-hang the door to the office. And in the ballroom, a pro-wrestling show. The post rents out the room often to raise money for their veterans programs, which they need now more than ever.
One of the things we are gonna need now is a better security system, said Pouliot.

The hordes continue to ravage California.
Agree. They knew ahead of time and/or had inside help.
Not much of a “safe”
