The money was rapped around with a daily tally sheet, according to the police report and taken out of the safe around 4 p.m. The owner of the store said that if he could get his money back he wouldn’t press charges.

The alleged thief returned to the coffeeshop and admitted she had taken the money, police said. She had gotten the combination to the safe from one of the people working at the cafe, police said. 

No arrests were made and the owner of Cream & Sugar Cafe got his money back, police said.
