The Black Cat jazz club and bar in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood was burglarized on July 26, police said.'s Black Cat jazz club and bar was broken into early Tuesday morning — and police responded to the incident — two dozen looters allegedly raided the acclaimed music venue in the Tenderloin for five hours, freely taking everything from guitars to bottles of champagne worth hundreds of dollars, the club's operations manager said.
"I counted 25 people who came in and out through the night," said Chapman, explaining that security footage showed the looters at work."It was just a free-for-all. People were just going in and taking out piles of stuff and building piles on the sidewalk." Chapman said some people came in, stole items and left, later returning with big trash bags and flashlights to take more. He also said this all happened less than a block from a San Francisco Police Department station, and management and the owner are frustrated that more steps weren't taken after the break-in to reach the owner and secure the club.
Police first responded to a report from a witness of a break-in at the the club at 2:19 a.m., the San Francisco Police Department said in a statement. At the scene, officers saw an individual exit the business through the shattered glass door and detained the person outside the club without incident, the statement said. The suspect was later released.
