Help us catch a thief!!!!

Dear Loyal Patrons and Friends of Carmela’s at The Loft,

I’m reaching out to ask for your help. In the early hours of Monday morning, July 15th at approximately 4:18am, an individual stole from the front of the restaurant a large concrete/pottery Boot planter that contained a cactus plant that meant a lot to me and i have enjoyed for over 20 years. He also took a large cactus in a clay pot that i have had for 15 years. I put the plants out for all to enjoy, not to be taken. cameras show the individual wearing shorts, crocs, and some type of hoodie jacket.

I very much would like to get it back.

If you have any information that can assist me in identifying this individual or the vehicle shown in the attached pictures, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Please e mail me at carmelasattheloft@gmail.com or call the Restaurant at 434-237-2522 and leave a message for me with your call back number.

Any information that leads to the safe return of the plants and pots will be rewarded with a dinner for two at Carmela's at the Loft.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Ralph
