A small business in Calgary is pleading for the return of their stolen portable playground, which has left the owners “pretty devastated.”
The playground, owned by Little Explorers Play Centre, was taken from their parking lot on May 25th. The owners, who have been operating the business for over 10 years, are now offering a $500 reward for any information leading to the return of the playground.
According to the owners, the playground is not only a source of income for their business, but also a source of joy for the children who visit. It was custom-made and designed to be easily transportable, making it a valuable asset for the business.
The theft has not only caused financial strain for the business, but also emotional distress for the owners. They are urging anyone with information to come forward and help bring back the playground.
The Calgary Police Service is currently investigating the theft and is asking anyone with information to contact them. The playground is described as a 10×10 foot structure with a blue and yellow color scheme.
In the meantime, the owners are trying to remain positive and are grateful for the support they have received from the community. They are hopeful that the playground will be returned and are asking for the public’s help in making that happen.
This incident serves as a reminder of the impact that theft can have on small businesses, especially during these challenging times. The owners of Little Explorers Play Centre are determined to continue providing a safe and fun environment for children, but they are asking for the return of their beloved playground.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Calgary Police Service or Little Explorers Play Centre. Let’s come together as a community to help bring back this stolen playground and support a small business in need.
