Midtown coffeehouse’s stolen sign recovered following social media posts

After a midtown coffeehouse asked Sacramentans to be on the lookout after a large wooden sign was stolen from the store, the sign was recovered within two days.

Local coffee roaster Old Soul Co. posted photos to Instagram and Facebook on Friday showing a white Porsche convertible with vanity plates carrying the store’s sign in the back seat.

By Saturday morning, the Facebook post was updated: “Thank you Sacramento. The Community, the Neighborhood, our City officials and public servants. Property returned.”

The sign was stolen from Old Soul’s Weatherstone location, on 21st Street near H Street, sometime on Thursday.

“An alert customer got a pic of the act. Any info would be appreciated if you know this car,” Old Soul had initially written Friday on Instagram, tagging the post “#loser” and notifying other coffeehouses in the area.

With Facebook users commenting that it would be wise to file a police report, Old Soul responded Friday: “turns out not that much........ SacPD is pretty lame right now.”

Old Soul has three locations in Sacramento.
