Two young males are on video stealing the welcome rug from the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo on Saturday. Madonna Inn management is offering a $500 reward for return of the rug and for the identity of a thief.
At approximately 4.15 p.m. on Saturday, two males in their late teens or early twenties walked into the establishment, grabbed the rug, ran outside, and jumped in the back seat of a silver truck. The thieves were wearing black hoodies and medical masks.
Madonna Inn General Manager Connie Pearce describes the truck as a “2007 GMC Sierra 4×4 Crew Cab, 1500, Pewter Color, Custom Wheels, Custom Brake Lights, Small Lift, Step Rails, Black Bed Liner and a Bumper Trailer Hitch. Truck also has what appears to be a parking sticker hanging from the rear view mirror.”
It appeared the truck sported a Nevada license plate with the number 169 ZRD. This is the fifth time young male thieves have stolen the entry rug from the Madonna Inn.
