Took away cash drawer, safe, red wagon (with LAGWGN license plate) and a framed camouflage David Wells jersey. Car and suspect are included in the pics below."
The burglary of Dirty Birds occured in the early morning hours on Wednesday, June 1, at 1929 Cable Street in San Diego's Ocean Beach community.

Dirty Birds founders Jon Ollis and Adam Jacoby opened the restaurant’s original location in Pacific Beach in 2008, followed by a second in 2015 near the college area of San Diego State University. The third branch of Dirty Birds debuted within Liberty Station in Point Loma in December 2016. In 2019, Dirty Birds launched its 4th location within Ocean Beach Plaza. In 2020, the 5th area location of Dirty Birds sports bar and grill has opened on the University of California San Diego campus in La Jolla in the space that housed Round Table Pizza for almost three decades.
