The person caught on camera stealing umbrellas from Rori’s Creamery in Montecito was caught on camera again returning the stolen umbrellas.
The suspect returned two yellow striped umbrellas and bases, but did not return the poles, according to the ice cream shop located in the Montecito Country Mart on Coast Village Road.
The suspect has not been identified but the shop describes them as a younger female driving a black Porsche SUV.
In a video posted to their Instagram page, Rori’s Creamery captured the theft at 2:48 a.m. on August 31 showing the woman wearing ripped black jeans and a gray hooded sweatshirt.
The suspect returned the stolen items, minus the poles, around 4:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 5, wearing the same clothes and driving the same vehicle.
“Well, well, well……the plot thickens. The notorious umbrella thief of Montecito had a change of heart and returned them at 4am yesterday morning. However, they didn’t bring back the poles and hence this gesture of remorse and goodwill doesn’t really help us a lot. Perhaps our Porsche driving pilferer would be ever so kind to drop the poles back off? Yes, you read that right, the getaway car was a Porsche. Some people………………,” the store stated on Instagram.
“Can the great umbrella wrangler of Montecito kindly bring our poles back, please?
Nice roof rack on the Porsche, btw……,” the store wrote in a second post.

Rori’s Artisanal Creamery, a local ice cream shop located in Montecito Country Mart at 1024 Coast Village Road, has become the latest victim of an unusual theft. Over the past weekend, several yellow stripped umbrellas and their stands were stolen from the premises, an incident that the shop has taken to social media to highlight.
In a video posted to their Instagram page, Rori’s Creamery captured the theft at 2:48 a.m. on August 31. The footage reveals a suspected young woman, clad in ripped black jeans and a gray hooded sweatshirt, committing the theft. The store stated the suspect was seen driving a black Porsche SUV.
Accompanying the video, Rori’s Creamery addressed the thief directly with a blend of disbelief and disappointment, stating, “To the young woman who decided to steal the umbrellas and stands from our Montecito shop over the weekend… really? ?”
This post has since drawn attention from patrons and the wider community, sparking conversations about the curious nature of the theft and concerns over rising petty crimes in the area.
Rori’s Creamery, known for its dedication to crafting a variety of tasty ice cream flavors, has expressed hope that publicizing the incident will lead to the recovery of the stolen items and perhaps deter future incidents.
If anyone has information regarding the theft or the suspect’s identity, they are encouraged to contact local authorities. The video of the theft is provided below:

With enough effort. She can be identified.
And then arrested for commercial burglary.
Hopefully that will happen.
Thanks to Biden’s open border…..
How do people get so brainwashed to blame everything on Biden. I vision Sac to be old or just not a fully lite light bulb.
Satire alert…
PAYIT4WARD – you must be new here 🙂
Is that the border between Montecito and Santa Barbara, or Summerland? Perhaps a wall is necessary? Aren’t the 30ft hedges enough?
She needed the umbrellas to cover up the body of her pregnant wife in the back of her truck on her way to Berkeley harbor ?
Whoa… You know you don’t have to watch EVERY Scott Peterson documentary that comes out right?
I’m so sorry you knew what that was a reference to.Thanks I guess for clarifying? Nah, no thanks.
She looks like she goes to a gym.
No character at all.
Unbelivebale entitlement.
Maybe she’s having a garden party and will then return them.
Any guests recognize these sun umbrellas??!
Wonder if it was some sort of dare, college hazing prank, or she lost a bet? Not to condone what she did was acceptable. Just considering her actions of stealing and returning (partial) and the motivation to do such a thing. Hmm…unless the car is also stolen.
fuzzy cameras or badly positioned cameras are like having no camera at all if the goal is to identify someone
Unbelivebale !
Is this a PR stunt, great for free advertising… next update bringing back the polls, it will turn into a novel than a movie, lol
What polls? Best restaurant?
What does “novel than a restaurant” mean?
