Power Cord Thefts and Food Cart News
October 1, 2014
It seems food cart power cord thefts are on the rise. Just in the past couple of weeks, carts located at Carts On Foster, Mississippi Marketplace and Tidbit have been hit. Thieves or vandals are cutting and stealing the cords. Some vendors have been forced to close for multiple days due to the damage. Cord thefts and vandalism has been an issue for a few years now, yet it seems the past two weeks has seen an increase in activity. The Portland Police are involved in investigating, so if you have seen anything untoward at any of the food cart lots at night, please give them a call. When power is cut, fridges shut down and that is a huge cost to these small businesses. As an food cart fan, head on out to one of these pods and support the vendors when you can.
