To The Editor:

To the person who robbed us,

To the person who robbed Three Mountain Cafe: I’m sorry you felt you needed the cash that you took more than our employees, who lost their tips for the day. In addition, your unlawful and reckless behavior has cost us money to repair the door you smashed and replace the cash for the day. We will need to take money from our personal savings to make up for your actions.

But I do want to thank you for putting me in contact with friends I haven’t heard from in years, customers who show they care about us and for all of those who have been in touch to let us know we are in their thoughts. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (even you, thief).
