It happened in the early morning hours and was captured on security video from across the street. A burglar smashed the door window of the small gym along Cumberland Street. "The money was taken that we were supposed to do it with, so now we can’t do it," Smith said of the giveaway. "What we do is help the community. We bring people here. This is supposed to be a safe space, and now it appears as though it’s not."
