I arrived in town at about 3:15, opened the gate, locked the gate, organized my posters, grabbed $5 from my bag, tucked it away in the corner of the counter, and set out to put up some posters in the alpha building and grab some coffee before meeting up with a scheduled appointment at 4:30pm back at Haven. When I left I made sure the doors were locked, but when I returned the door was open and African Dance sign on the street, and a young women, Brook, sweeping and preparing the space for class earlier than usual. This was at 4:30pm. She arrived at Haven between 3:45-4:00pm. Some time between the time she arrived and before I returned, she claims a man in his late 30s, early 40s, wearing a hat, with shoulder length brown curly hair who claimed to be looking for me came downstairs, wandered around a bit, and then left. When I returned, my bag was where I left it, with my computer and wallet (without money) were still in the bag, however a black Shure microphone case with about $1200, two checks totaling over $500 made out to The Hive Collective, a money order addressed to me for $350, another $285 in cash bundled with paperwork from the BriarPatch Co-op for pre-sales from AfroMassive, Hot Lunch, and Fungineers, AND plus a black and gold houndstooth makeup bag with about $1200, totaling over $3500. Normally I don’t carry this much cash around with me, but I intended to go to the bank to make a deposit after my meeting, in preperation for the new month as well as to pay off some bills in an effort to make my way to a new chapter in my life. Had I known that African Dance opened Mail: Sara Zahn c/o Haven Underground 10457 Manzanita Dr Grass Valley, CA 95945 Please address your checks to Sara Zahn THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT the doors earlier than usual, I never would have left my bag there unattended. I thought by securing and locking the doors my stuff would be safe while I was away for 45 minutes. In light of all of this money being stolen, I am FLAT BROKE. I have about $30 to my name. And the Haven is at a MAJOR LOSS. While I did file a police report, there isn’t much they can do. Any information leading to the thief, recovery, or information would be GREATLY appreciated. I am absolutely devastated that someone would do this, and am at a total loss financially. The money was mostly in $1s, 5s, and 10s, and bus bundled with paperclips and rubber bands in stacks of hundreds within their respective cases.
