A local men’s apparel retailer has become the latest target of criminal activity, after an overnight break-in at KM Morgan Men’s Collection left the small business with property damage and stolen inventory, according to the brand’s founder.
In a public statement posted following the incident, owner Kevin M. Morgan directly addressed the perpetrators responsible for the break-in, delivering a firm message that criminal acts will never yield long-term gain. “To those who broke into KM Morgan Men’s Collection: crime doesn’t pay,” Morgan wrote. He acknowledged that the stolen merchandise can be reordered and replaced to restock the store, but emphasized that the break-in left tangible harm to an enterprise that he spent decades of relentless effort to build from the ground up.
Rather than lashing out with harsh demands for retribution, Morgan extended a challenge to the people behind the theft: instead of expending energy stealing from the hard work of other people, he urged them to channel that effort into creating their own meaningful venture that they can call their own.
The small business owner also made clear that this criminal act will not stop his company from operating or achieving its future goals. Morgan confirmed that KM Morgan Men’s Collection will remain fully committed to serving its loyal customer base, and will continue moving forward with its regular operations without interruption.
As of the owner’s initial public post, no additional details have been released about what specific items were stolen, the total monetary value of the lost or damaged property, or whether local law enforcement has identified any suspects or made arrests connected to the break-in.
