Wang and her staff say an unhoused woman grabbed it and walked away.
Video shows Wang and her staff trying to get the bag back. However, the unhoused woman got angry and refused to give it back. The donation bag had around $1,000."She did start getting agitated and started throwing food," Wang said. We reached out to OPD and they asked us to be more specific about the location of the incident, but they haven't replied after we gave them updated information."They said there were 250 calls ahead of us and they said they would actually come by to take a report afterwards," Wang said. "They still have not come by and it still hasn't happened yet."
