Hello, neighbors! Brad K. Evans here with your brand-new copy of the Denver Daily. Happy Lunar New Year! The Year of the Tiger kicks off this week with events across the city. Tuesday's weather: Some sun, then clouds; colder. High: 29 Low: 19. Here are the top stories today in Denver: Dogs stolen while owners were sleeping. The owners woke up to discover that their dogs, a 7-year-old German Shepard named Shelby and Mo, an Anatolian Shepard, were gone along with their wallets and the car. (FOX31)Artist takes fall, needs help getting up. It only took a fraction of a second for Denver artist, Yoshitomo Saito, to fall from a 10-foot ladder – fracturing the artist's back in three places. But recovering from the injury will take time. A Go Fund Me account has been set up on his behalf by Havu Gallery. (Gazette) Business owner to charge 1% fee to recover shoplifting losses. A downtown business owner says shoplifting at his stores has gotten so bad he's having to charge customers a fee to make up the costs. This isn't the only store that's impacted by theft, as most retailers will agree that shoplifting in their stores is on the rise. (7News) 'Two Girls Running A Coffee Shop' see boom in business thanks to TikTok video. Having started the coffee shop almost three years ago, the owner's of a Highland coffee shop say they've learned to expect the unexpected – especially after this week after a popular Denver food page posted a video that showcased the shop's unique coffee flights. (CBS4)Business and politics creates divisions inside and outside at Outdoor Retailer show. As Denver tries to negotiates a new contract to keep the twice-a-year outdoor expo, Utah is courting the industry hard, having lost the show when its leaders blasted the state's position on public lands and left the trade show's 20-year home in Salt Lake City. (CO Sun) From our sponsor: Last week, we told you about our new favorite non-alcoholic go-to — the refreshingly bitter drinks from our partners at Betera. They're chef-created from natural botanicals, lightly effervescent and worthy of life beyond "Dry January." We mentioned that their Ginger-Orange was excellent; we've since tried Elderflower-Lime and loved it as well — light and floral with the perfect amount of zing. We're converts. Enough of you took Betera up on their 15% discount on first orders for Patch Daily readers that they've extended the offer for another week. Use PATCH15 at checkout. Highly recommended — try Betera here.
