As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, the San Francisco Firefighters Toy Program has fallen victim to thieves. Nearly 200 "trikes," which are similar to tricycles, were stolen from their storage unit. The loss is estimated to be in the thousands of dollars.
Tuesday afternoon, those from the nonprofit showed ABC7 News the area where a thief, or thieves, broke in.
They first cut the lock, then emptied out much of a storage unit. They took electric fire truck and police car trikes that kids could ride around and play on.
"I think my only question would be why? I'm disappointed. Why did you do that? Why did you do that to the kids that we're trying to help?" says Sally Casazza of the San Francisco Firefighters Toy Program.
Casazza says she arrived Tuesday, days before Thanksgiving and weeks before Christmas, to find nearly 200 trikes worth over a hundred dollars each, gone.
