Sergio Barrios, owner of Barrio coffee shop and bakery in South Land Park, Sacramento, has faced three break-ins in just two months, resulting in significant losses and frustration with his insurance company's minimal compensation. The total damage amounts to over $10,000, yet Barrios has only received $1,000 from his insurance. Despite his efforts to seek further compensation, his pleas have gone unanswered, exacerbating his frustration. The thieves have repeatedly stolen valuable items, including tools, iPads, and cameras. Barrios' neighbor, Guy Rogers, who owns Sparky's Retro Resale, has also been victimized, facing substantial losses from an attempted break-in. Amidst these challenges, the local community has stepped up to support Barrios, with a customer initiating a GoFundMe campaign that has raised $4,000. Barrios, who is also battling cancer, expresses deep gratitude for the community's assistance. The Sacramento Police Department is actively investigating the break-ins, urging anyone with information to come forward. CBS Sacramento advises potential donors to consult with advisers before contributing to GoFundMe accounts.
