Help Lindsay Rebuild Dead Rockers After Break-Ins

Help Lindsay Shaver Rebuild Dead Rockers After 4th Consecutive Break-In in Two Years!

Who is Lindsay?

Lindsay Shaver is a beloved member of the Long Beach small business community. For the past 12 years, she has been the owner of Dead Rockers, a unique shop selling clothes, records, and home goods that has become a favorite for music-minded locals and visitors alike.

What Happened?

In the early hours of Wednesday, October 16, 2024, at around 4 a.m., Dead Rockers at 1090 E Wardlow Rd, Long Beach, CA , experienced its fourth devastating break-in in just two years. This latest smash and grab incident resulted in thieves making off with at least $5,000 worth of merchandise, dealing yet another significant blow to this resilient small business. The Long Beach area is seeing a rash of similar break-ins, and sadly independent business owners are being targeted.



The Impact on Lindsay and Dead Rockers

While Lindsay has bravely weathered previous break-ins, this fourth consecutive incident in just two years has brought on real hardship. No small, independent business owner should have to endure this kind of repeated trauma and financial setback. Each break-in chips away at the foundation of what Lindsay has built over 12 years, threatening not just her livelihood but also her dream and a valued community space.

These repeated break-ins have not only caused significant financial damage but have also taken an emotional toll on our friend. Anyone who knows Lindsay knows she is always taking care of others and now we can step up. The constant stress of rebuilding, restocking, and living in fear of the next incident is overwhelming for any business owner, let alone one who has already faced this challenge multiple times.
