<div>The store has been broken into again.
</div>
<div>Similar MO but a different person according to the camera footage. 
</div>
<div>The thief stole cash, some Funko Pops and an SDCC 2023 exclusive Power Rangers Tiki Mugs. More costly, is the damage to our window/ door.
</div>
<div>We had upgraded to safety glass, similar to car windows and while it didn't shatter as easily, the robbers tenacity paid off.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are in a better financial state than we were in January (low sales, high bills) and thanks to the previous incident we have all the confidence that we will get past this. The purpose of the GoFundMe is to give people an avenue to support if they don't want to buy anything from the shop or simply can't reach us. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is not easy running a hobby shop in New York City in 2024, but your support and love has outweighed the damage we incurred.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Below is the text from the break in in January:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yesterday Everyone Comics x Collectibles in Long Island City was broken into at 3am.
</div>
<div>The thief stole cash, a laptop, and destroyed our window. The damage was costly, and our business was disrupted at the worst time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77862517_1706144898494023_r." width="100%" />

</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77862517_1706144915698181_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I started Everyone Comics x Collectibles with my long-time coworker and friend Alex Rae in 2022. We felt we could create an environment that would nurture the growth of our favorite hobby for others and help people meet with similar interests, all the while selling our favorite books.
</div>
<div>While the real estate of LIC has proven to be a challenge for us, with the constant development and displacement of customers, we felt the proximity of the subway to the store, along with the accessibility for persons with disabilities, made our location a great place for growth.
</div>
<div>It has been slow, but it has, in fact, been growing!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Between meeting a variety of personalities and being party to their expanding tastes and interests, to hosting events that nurture people's creativity it has been a gratifying experience. We love the people we meet and hope we have left a good impression with them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our financial situation is volatile, and this is a big setback for us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are trying to raise $3500. $600 to replace the window, $1200 to replace the computer, $300 to recoup the money stolen form the register and $1400 for the lost revenue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any money raised will be invested into the store. I welcome people who can come in and patron it but recognize that many people who can no longer reach us would like an avenue to support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We appreciate all the help you give us, and hope it is returned to you in kind!
</div>
