On Memorial Day morning, Jonathan Youssef rushed to his jewelry and repair shop in Simi Valley after learning of a burglary. Although his father reassured him about their safe, opening it revealed the loss of precious gold bullion, customer items, and years of savings. The burglary involved skilled burglars who accessed a neighboring coffee shop through the roof, later breaching Youssef's store by cutting through walls and a heavy safe over three hours. The emotional impact was profound, affecting both the owners and their customers.
"It was a lifetime's worth of work - of struggle - gone, just gone," Jonathan Youssef told The Times on Tuesday evening as he fought back tears.
Senior Officer Casey Nicholson said an unknown number of burglars gained access to Dr. Conkey's Candy & Coffee shop next door through the roof.
