The Monday Morning Stimulus

Kyra Marie Belanger

A Bluffdale woman says thieves took her food truck just as she was a few weeks away from opening. She'd already put close to $20,000 into it, and it was in the place it had always been for at least the last several months.

Maysen Brown had been slowly building her dream. "So the trailer was being checked on almost every single day," Brown said.

The trailer was built out mostly from a shell into her mobile shop — what was soon to be Cultured Coffee. Years of planning and saving had gone into the project.

"I was able to finally get enough money, and I put all my savings and every spare change and money I got from just working into getting myself a food truck," Brown said.

She says neighbors and friends helped build it out, even volunteering their time. She kept it on the corner of Allegiance Drive and Heritage Crest Way in Bluffdale. Then, on Wednesday, it was gone.

"Which is really heartbreaking," Brown said. "I have had this dream to have a coffee shop, mobile coffee shop, for about five or six years now."

She says police officers took a report, but so far it's not looking great. Saratoga Springs police have tried multiple tow yards and have not found her trailer, confirming her worst fears that someone may be dismantling it or trying to sell it.
