Robbed Again
A local drive-in movie theater is reeling from yet another robbery.
In an Instagram post Tuesday, Blue Starlite Drive-in said its newest location on VFW Road, in the Parmer Lane and Tech Ridge Boulevard area of northeast Austin, was robbed this week.
"Now, we have officially been robbed at every one of our locations," Blue Starlite wrote.
The drive-in said it was already using the last of its working equipment because "due to previous robberies, we no longer have backup equipment." Much of the business' equipment was stolen at its downtown location, off San Antonio Street, in January 2023.
The drive-in closed its other location in the Mueller neighborhood last July and opened the VFW location last fall.
According to Blue Starlite, all of its tech equipment from its main office trailer at the VFW location was stolen, including Blu-Ray players, iPads, projectors, cords and AV supplies.
The business said it's able to run a few screens at the VFW location this week and in the future. However, until it can replace the main equipment it has lost, it won't be able to add additional independent titles to its slate.
"We are pretty devastated that we took another hit and, to be honest, we can’t really take any more hits," the theater wrote on Instagram.
