CHICAGO, IL - The world-famous gourmet popcorn shop known to Chicago Cubs' fans near and far has been burglarized. Twice.
NBC-Chicago and others reported Wednesday that the “Nuts on Clark” shop at 3830 N. Clark St. in Wrigleyville was broken into around 1 a.m. The thieves made off with the cash register and a laptop.
The store's cash register also went missing a week before on Tuesday, according to Crime in Wrigleyville and Boystown. That break-in took place at 10:30 p.m., when police responded to an alarm and found the store's back door open.

The thieves came in through a vent and "took the register, a couple computers and were out the back door," Estelle Kenney, owner, told ABC-Chicago.
She also said a security upgrade that followed the first break-in didn't do anything to prevent another burglary.
