The owners of a downtown Tulsa pizzeria hope surveillance video will help catch the people who stole their outdoor speakers.

The folks at Bohemian Pizza in the East Village were braving the heat Tuesday, making improvements to their outdoor seating area. But a recent theft is putting a damper on their efforts to make a unique atmosphere for their guests. 

"They hoisted themselves up, scaled the wall up to the windows, and just started ripping our speakers that we have," said co-owner Amy McMillan.

Video surveillance from late Thursday night shows two people work together to take the speaker off the wall. Co-owner Amy McMillan said what's worse is that the thieves were just feet away from where she was sleeping. 

"I not only own Bohemian Pizza, I live on top of it, and you know, somebody is scaling my building up by my window to my living room and it's pretty scary," said McMillan.

The thieves were also feet away from her new security cameras.

"He literally is looking into it," McMillan said.

She said she put those cameras up to deter this exact thing. 

Unfortunately, the owners say this isn't the first time they've been hit by thieves. Back in January, someone stole an outdoor heater from their outdoor seating area.

Security video from across the street captured the moment someone on a motorized bike took off with the heater. McMillan said it's frustrating to be the victim of theft once again.

"We survived COVID, we worked so hard, and now people are coming downtown in the middle of the night and vandalizing and stealing from small business owners," said McMillan.

McMillin's brother and co-owner of Bohemian, Patrick, is annoyed, but he said he'll keep working to make his restaurant look nice.

"It's pretty disappointing, but we'll just keep fixing it," said Patrick.

Tulsa Police ask if you recognize the people in the video, call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.
