Thief makes off with Mocha Motion surfer mascot
Somebody stole the Mocha Motion surfboard mascot a couple of days ago, apparently while the coffee stop on 4th Street was open and the sun was shining. The Eureka Reporter's Emily Wilson has the story in today's paper.
Mocha Motion is the first java drive-through that tempts commuters on 4th Street/Highway 101 coming into town from the north. Until Thursday, Mocha Motion boasted a nifty surfboard effigy that was the work of a local artist. Apparently someone sawed through some rebar and separated the 200-lb statuary from its 500-lb based, sometime after 8 a.m. Talk about brazen.
There is a good description of a possible suspect vehicle. Hope they find the thief. Sometimes I wonder if Eureka suffers from mass kleptomania.
