A Rhode Island mother-of-two who spent months preparing to open a home-based sourdough bakery had her brand-new wooden farm stand stolen on its first night outside, but a father-and-son construction team rebuilt an identical stand free of charge. Katrina Blancaflor, a former pastry chef, placed the stand at the end of her driveway on 3 July to promote her business, K's Bakestand. Security footage showed an SUV stealing the stand at 2 a.m. the next day. Local builders John Adams and his son Casey, owners of Adams Construction, saw the family's story online and offered to rebuild the stand using the original drawings. During the project, thieves broke into their company and stole their tools, but the Adams family replaced the equipment and completed the stand a week late. The family has since installed a dedicated security camera system and is now taking online pre-orders for local pickup.
