Break in at Food For Thought Caf퀌�
Sometime over the course of Memorial Day Weekend, the evening calm of the Food For Thought Café was broken, along with the cash registers.
An employee arrived to open the cafe around 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 26, to find the door of the sustainable, cooperative cafe in the basement of Smith Memorial Student Union locked, but the cash registers forcibly pried open.
FFT employees claim there was a street medic event held over the weekend, however the report filed to the Campus Public Safety Office has no record of said event.
The cafe does not keep money in cash registers overnight, meaning the perpetrator apparently left empty handed.
“Judging by the report and everything listed here, I cannot tell anything was missing,” a CPSO representative said.
Cafe employees were reluctant to provide statements, however one staff member agreed to issue an anonymous account.
“The doors were left unlocked, and because of that someone was able to enter. Rather than turning the registers on, [the perpetrator] pried them open to find nothing in them. They stole some juice and wrote profanity on our [sign]. It cost us hundreds of dollars to get these replaced,” a Food For Thought employee said.
The report filed to CPSO has no record of any theft or vandalism other than the damaged registers, and also claims the doors to the cafe were locked when the evidence was discovered.
It is uncertain as to whether this case will require further investigation, CPSO said.
