The Comet Tavern may have new owners, but it has apparently lost a piece of its past.

As the Capitol Hill Seattle Blog reports this morning, last night, according to new owners Dave Meinert and Jason Lajeunesse, a break-in at the famed (but currently closed) music venue and watering resulted in the theft of “the dozens of dollar bills stuck to the bar’s ceiling.”

“It’s with great sadness that we are writing to report the comet was broken into last night,” Meinert and Lajeunesse wrote via email. “The only thing stolen, but maybe the most important remnants of [its] past, were the dollar bills on the ceiling. … We are combing through our [videos] today in hopes of catching a glimpse of the thieves/thief.”

According to the Capitol Hill Seattle Blog, Meinert and Lajeunesse indicate police are currently investigating. As was announced last month, the bar’s new owners hope to have the Comet reopened by early 2014.
