The bakery said the thieves stole an iPad and other items. A supporter of the bakery set up a GofundMe fundraiser to collect donations to help the bakery with repairs and replace the stolen items, as well as install a metal gate on the door. Leftover funds will reportedly be used to increase security at other local businesses.
The bakery's owners asked that witnesses and other with information reach out to the San Francisco Police Department Taraval station's anonymous tip line at (415) 242-9753.
