In a shocking blow to the Blue Starlite UrbanDrivein, thieves have stolen the projection equipment from its Downtown location.

. The thieves did not manage to steal that essential piece of equipment; However, they did steal the DCP audiomixer, which is completely useless except with the DCP projector but essential for DCP screenings.

Frank estimates that the thieves must have taken an uninterrupted hour to commit the crime: however, unfortunately, there are no cameras on the garage roof, so Frank is working with the garage management to see if there is any footage from other cameras that may provide clues."It's heartbreaking," he said."It took me 13 years to compile all that stuff. Those are the assets for my business.

For now, Frank and his team are working on a plan to get through the next few weeks, and in the interim will be showing classic films on their smallest microscreen, the Private Downtown Drive-in Screen, which will remain bookable via their website. The plan is still to come back, not least because Frank said he believes that the Downtown location, with its incredible views of the downtown skyline, holds a particular place in the hearts of its fans."When people buy tickets downtown, it's because they like downtown," Frank said."As a friend of mine in the industry told me, that's your Instagram location."
