Jesse's Tavern in Chicago Ridge said a man stole the contents of their veterans donation bucket on a busy Friday night.
CHICAGO -- Jesse's Tavern in Chicago Ridge is the kind of bar where everyone knows your name. Owner Kathy McKinney said patrons also know about the bucket to collect loose change which is then donated to area veterans.
"I'm sure somebody would have gone hey!, because we work for our veterans in this community," she said. "We're able to give them $1000 every year just from people throwing their change in there," she said."With something like that, I would think he's a repeat offender or he's from the area, so it will be big that we can get that out there in critical reach, we can get it out there on social media," said Police Chief Jim Jarolimek.
