Roseville, California —
The pumpkin patch behind MoJoe’s and Kitchen 747 in Roseville is a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to the community.
Proceeds from each pumpkin sold will be donated to Compassion Planet, a nonprofit organization that empowers underprivileged youth in the Sacramento area. That’s why I was so annoyed when the restaurant staff came in on Sunday morning and found some of the pumpkins smashed.
“They broke multiple things off the roof, the stairs, and messed up the pumpkins on our own property. Yeah, it was really disappointing,” said Kitchen 747 manager Michael Jerace.
Geres said surveillance camera footage showed a group of what appeared to be children vandalizing the property on Friday and Saturday nights, causing damage to more than just the pumpkin patch.
“Basically, the next day we noticed a lot of things weren’t in place. There were leftover ping pong balls under the stairs all over the place. Folding tables and cushions had been thrown in from the roof. ” Jealous said. “We had extra plates to leave upstairs when we were seating guests, but when they came the next day they were thrown off the roof and shattered in the street.”
Napkins and umbrellas were also reportedly thrown from the roof. The heater was also damaged.
“Everything was chaotic. At the end of the day, we just want to make sure this never happens again,” Gerace said.
Gerace said he had never seen anything like this happen in the three years he had worked at the restaurant. he hopes it never happens again.
“We hope that whoever did this doesn’t do it again because I just feel like our community and this is a beautiful community. So, we don’t need that kind of behavior,” he said.
