Portland Food Cart Burglaries: Fourth Pod in a Week is Hit

For the fourth time in one week, a Portland food cart pod has been hit by burglars. It happened Monday night at the NE 42nd Avenue Food Carts where three of the four carts were hit.

"Hey PORTLAND we are closed today for unseen unfortunate robbery," the operators of Pastrami Zombie posted on Facebook. "Sorry for any inconvenience. We ❤️ you all."

Portland Zombie had just been selected the best food cart in the city by Portland Monthly. `The owners, who are self-professed Cubs fans, should be able to take some solace in their team's staving-off-elimination win on Tuesday.

The burglary was the fourth to target a food cart pod recently.

Portland Mercado had eight of its ten carts broken into. Two days later 11 carts at Carts on Foster were robbed. That was followed by Cartlandia where seven carts were burglarized.

The burglary at NE 42nd was the first not in the Southeast part of the city.
