I don't live anywhere near there, nor do I know the people personally...but I've heard amazing things about this place and I can't stand to see this happen to them, so I am copying/pasting from another forum.
I regret to inform you that Animal Trax was the victim of a burglary sometime after midnight and before business hours today. Because of the police investigation, the shop will be closed all day today.
Unfortunately, Charlie and many of the other shop mascots were taken in this morning's burglary at Animal Trax. The loss of so much, especially personal pets, is very difficult. We'd like to ask that our customers with children please explain that many of the critters they love to visit may not be in the shop. While we hope Charlie and the others will be returned quickly and unharmed, it would be difficult for David and Daniel to explain their loss over and over again, especially to the kids.
The plans are to keep the shop closed through Thursday, June 11 as inventorying what was taken requires time. Another email message will go out when the shop is ready to open.
If you receive any information about this crime, please contact the Madison Police Department at 256-722-7190.
Thank you so much for understanding and for supporting David and Daniel during this difficult time.
