Not surprised at all. No security. With the amount stolen you would think they would have taken precautions against robbery. It is rare here in Dahlonega but times have changed for this small town. It’s starting to grow and with that you also have the crime drugs and all else. It’s time shop keepers woke up and hired some help in stopping it before it happens. But thank god we are no where like Atlanta. I left there years ago and glad. I love it here in Dahlonega. It is safe beautiful and peaceful. We have a top notch police dept. Thanks to sheriff jarread. Sorry misspelled his name. Gary. Dahlonega ga.
