Music for the Eyes, an exotic jewelry, attire and rug shop in Langley, was burglarized this week.

Owner Fred Lundahl said jewelry was stolen from the shop sometime between Monday night and Tuesday morning. Langley Police Chief Dave Marks, who is investigating the theft, said the estimated monetary value lost was “in the thousands.”

“It’s a pretty significant burglary,” Marks said.

Lundahl said he believes the store on First Street was cased, or observed and studied for its security because the box for the alarm was tampered with and the motion detector was not set off.

“They were in and out in less than five minutes,” he said.

He hoped to have some leads based on a neighbor’s security camera footage, which was poured over by his wife Sharon Lundahl this week, and the police’s investigation.

Marks declined to turn over stills from the video, citing it as part of an ongoing investigation.

“Right now we’re working a couple of different leads,” Marks said.

Lundahl, ever the optimist, said he was fortunate because other, more valuable items were not stolen.

“We believe ourselves extremely lucky,” he said.

From the incident, Lundahl said he planned to install a security camera system.

Langley’s police chief encouraged business owners and residents to make sure they lock their doors, close and lock windows and occasionally test their set alarms, if they have one, to ensure they work properly.
