In a heartbreaking incident on Saturday, a new Girl Scout troop in Alameda learned a tough lesson when thieves stole four cases of cookies they were selling outside a popular local restaurant.
The theft occurred around 11:30 a.m. in front of Fikescue Barbecue Restaurant on Park Street. Two parents were setting up the booth when the thieves took advantage of the hustle and bustle of the busy area, walking off with the cases. Each case contains 12 boxes, totaling 48 boxes of "Caramel DeLites," valued at approximately $350, said Melissa Perez, the troop leader.
