In Northern California, a restaurant named Da Boccery was forced to close early due to the Little Fire, which raised safety concerns and led to evacuations in the area. The fire, which has burned over 1,000 acres, prompted the management to prioritize the safety of their staff and guests. However, upon returning to the restaurant, employees discovered that thieves had taken advantage of the emergency situation. The general manager, Mitchell Bryant, reported that the thieves cut the bolt on the back gate and stole a significant amount of food, including burgers, tri-tip, bacon, and cheese. The first theft occurred around 7:30 p.m., followed by a second incident at 10:30 p.m. when the thieves returned with a friend to take more food. This brazen act of theft has left the restaurant staff frustrated, especially as they were already dealing with the disruptions caused by the wildfire. The crime has been classified as a felony, as the value of the stolen goods exceeded $950, and the Livermore Police Department is currently investigating the incident. Da Boccery, which features golf simulators, axe throwing, and arcade games, is one of several local businesses affected by the wildfire, which has injured at least one firefighter and is reported to be 85% contained.
