Voodoo Doughnuts Artwork Stolen, Owners Plead For Its Return
One-of-a-kind black velvet image of Pam Grier nabbed by a holiday Grinch.
DENVER (CBS4)– A sweet tooth, doughnut lover’s paradise became a mean mugging, art thief’s target Tuesday night.
“Why would anybody walk into a doughnut shop to steal artwork? I mean, if anything you just steal the doughnuts,” Brandon Cortez, a Voodoo Doughnut customer said.
It happened as an assortment of sugar-loaded doughnuts spun in their display cases. When no one was watching, a very special painting disappeared from the collection of unique art at Voodoo Doughnut on East Colfax. The large artwork hung high above an “Employees Only” door, and features actress Pam Grier – an 80s icon from Denver and graduate of East High School.
