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.

So you can expect this will happen a 6th time? Probably local fraternity Cal Poly kids..just look for the guys with pink rugs on their floors!


Well, unless the truck is stolen, this won’t be too hard of a case to solve.


“Them Dukes!”


Clemenza and Don Vito strike again.


The real crime at Madonna Inn is why they charge for a piece of cake.


“Don’t worry, it is just another tik tok prank, not a crime, just like the new one of kicking in your front door in the middle of the night and running off is the new ding dong ditch” signed – every young person.


Five times seems to indicate some sort of pattern developing. Have they tried locking it behind plexiglass like CVS?


One might think after the 2nd or 3rd time the idea of securing the rug to the ground might come to mind.


Securing a rug to the ground, no floor. I think you’ve come up with a great idea that will revolutionize the flooring industry. What will you call it? Secure rug, cover it maybe soft step. You decide Kayak you came up with it.
