The timestamp on the security video that caught the theft says the crime took place at about 2:45 a.m. (Initially, the first individual leaves what appears to be a wallet and phone on a ledge of the building, but returns a short time later to retrieve them.) On the video, one of the people climbs the side of an exterior wall of the restaurant, located at 130 Court St., and struggles for nearly three minutes to remove the flag from its flag-holder above the front door.Īfter removing the flag, the person then tosses it to another member of the group, who waves it before handing it back, and they walk away. But while the theft was upsetting, the aftermath of the incident - captured on security video that The Blue Orchid’s owners shared on their Facebook and Instagram pages - also showed the married couple that owns The Blue Orchid just how much good there is in the world and how much support they have.
