And now that she runs her own Launceston cafe she didn't expect it to be derailed by what she has labelled "sheer mindless destruction".

The Badger and Boots part-owner is the latest victim of a property crime surge in Launceston.

Overnight on Tuesday the George Street cafe was burgled and a small amount of cash stolen.

When Ms Corrick arrived on Wednesday morning she found the front door "ripped off".

"I've worked my arse off , I've built this place quite literally - me and mum built half the furniture - and for someone to come in and s--t over what you've done ... it makes you so angry," she said.

The disruption saw he lose her morning rush-hour trade, which accounts for about a third of her day's takings.

Ms Corrick said break-ins were happening too often and her Facebook feed was often saturated with victim comments.

Quick N Easy Car Wash at Invermay was also burgled last week.

The manager, who asked to remain anonymous, said up to $1500 damage was caused when the culprits tore off office doors and broke vacuum cleaners.

"They never actually get anything from us but every time they break in they do massive amounts of damage," he said.

"Unfortunately I don't think they have any fear of the police."

The manager said the break-in went for 45 minutes under bright flood lights right next to the East Tamar Highway.

It follows a brazen ram raid of the Mowbray Target at the weekend.

Police said they were following a specific line of inquiry in the case.

Inspector of Launceston uniform Michael Johnston said police responded to the ram raid in under 10 minutes.
