Thieves Steal Autographed Dollars Off Of Walls At Iconic OKC Bar

An iconic metro bar is using the power of social media to find the thieves that targeted the business.

Edna’s Bar in Oklahoma City posted video of crooks stealing several $1 bills off the walls and the owners said the dollars are very sentimental.

Most people sign a dollar bill and then staple it to the wall as a memory of their first trip to Edna’s.

“I was so angry, I had tears in my eyes I was so mad,” said Rick Frazier of Edna's Bar.

Surveillance video shows a group of friends sitting at the table. The video shows one of them carefully plucking dollar by dollar off the walls at the bar on Classen Circle. After leaving Edna's, the group went to the IHOP across the street and laid down $15 in stolen ones.

IHOP recognized the colorful money and called Edna's.

Edna’s family could not believe it.

“I was like, ‘What are you thinking? That's not my dollar. That's not this bar's dollar. The person that put it up, that's their dollar,’” said Edna’s grandson, Nathan Lucas.

One of the stolen bills was signed by loved ones on the day of Edna's funeral in October 2014.

“The day of the funeral, we all came up here, got together and put one up and that was one of the ones they took,” Lucas told News 9.

Edna's family said they obviously are not concerned about the dollar amount of the theft, but the 26 years of memories.

“Memories of Oklahoma City, this is history,” Frazier said. “It's people's lives, deaths. It's their love, their death, their make-up and break up.”

“Just come apologize,” Lucas begged.

Anyone who recognizes the people caught on video is asked to call the Oklahoma City Police Department.
