Rug stolen from Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo covertly returned

December 4, 2024

By KAREN VELIE

Following the fifth time thieves stole the welcome rug from the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, hotel management offered a $500 reward for return of the rug and for the identity of the thief or thieves. Management also posted photos of the theft.

This time, someone sent the rug back in an unmarked box with no note or return address. [KSBY]

The rug was reported stolen on the afternoon of Nov. 16. 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.

The frat boys were probably forced to return the rug.

Ban them for life Black Forest and pink champage cake.

Continue to investigate, identify, and prosecute these punks. Yes, I know the Madonna family has the money to replace the rug, they may already may have done so. Frat punk vandals degrade our city and society.

Back home safe and sound like a bug in a rug…

Fortunately those lads did the right thing because that rug wasn’t going to take this lying down forever.

Good one…my wife acts as though she hates whenever I try those on her, and she openly cringes…but, deep down I think she likes when a cheesy pun gets tossed out there. I wish I had come up with that one.
