Cafe Owner Says Unidentified Woman Attempts to Light Local Cafe on Fire

still from surveillance video of a woman in a yellow sweater and jeans inside a cafe holding what appears to be a bottle of lighter fluidOn September 13th an unidentified woman entered the Woodrose Cafe in Garberville around noon with a bottle of what appears to be lighter fluid. The woman then proceeded to attempt to start a fire in the middle of the restaurant according to the cafe’s Facebook page.

Once staff and patrons of the Woodrose Cafe realized what was happening, they sprang into action. The owner wrote, “Thanks to a brave customer that chased her out and to our staff members that didn’t panic, nobody got hurt.”

The owners are trying to identify the woman and want to alert the community of the potential danger. If you have any information about the woman in the pictures, please contact the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 923-2761.

If I am not mistaken, she is a previous waitress there…

I seem to recall…

I was pretty sure that I had seen her before…

I think it was there…

I just told my wife that I think I recognize her, and I think that she has worked there years ago, my wife said that she saw where someone else said the same thing on Facebook…

I thought I had seen her before…

Have you called in?
“The owners are trying to identify the woman and want to alert the community of the potential danger. If you have any information about the woman in the pictures, please contact the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 923-2761.”

And if she worked there before the owners would know that. Are they new owners?

Not new but not the original owners. The woman probably worked there before they bought it. If so, some of the old timers in town will know who she is.

Calm down. The article asks for information anyone might have to help identify the woman… that’s what this person did.

Right call it in. Not speculate on social media who it could be.
What if it’s just somebody who looks like previous waitress.

Guest isn’t even sure of where he saw her.. He may have seen that woman in a grocery store years ago.

I see your point, but you may be exaggerating the harm. The pictures, in aggregate, are not too fuzzy and any local suspect could be cleared quickly, if innocent. Obviously, the suspect, whomever it is, has mental issues and may already be under care.

At least you weren’t completely inane like: “ Come on baby, light my fire, try to set the night on FI-YAH”. She’s tired of being up-staged by woodland arsonists.

Attempted arson of an occupied building is legally defined as ‘first class arson’. It is an extremely serious crime punishable by up to twenty years in prison. I’m hoping the HSO is taking this with commiserate seriousness.

It’s illegal to restrain people for free. You have to get paid to do it.

The obsession with political divides continues as an arsonist attempts to light an occupied building on fire and all the locals can talk about is Hillary Clinton and Antifa. YOU ALL WATCH TOO MUCH DAMN TV.

Seems like there’s more going on than meets the eye. There was a young lady on the 299 trying to start a fire. The investigators should check into social media groups. Maybe there’s a group trying to start fires for some ideological purpose. The Woodrose back in the day was where growers would go for a $20 breakfast back when weed was over $4k a pound. Imo the Woodrose represented “liberal” America ?? Maybe she’s a Q Anon type conspiracy person like Marjorie Taylor Greene and they have some sort of plan to create chaos. The FBI should investigate ? How often do you see females starting fires? Seems like lately there’s been quite a few which seems unusual to me, but maybe I’m wrong….

I think the most disturbing thing about the pictures is she looks like a normal person in the photos. Like a soccer mom. Like Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert. The 299 arsonist looked like Gollum’s sister strung out on meth & fentenayl. This lady looks scary normal. If she’s the New enemy of our Country we’re in trouble……

Neither  Marjorie Taylor Greene nor Lauren Boebert are normal persons.

A review of the literature suggests that arson is seen more frequently in males with female firesetters usually comprising 10 to 18% of the samples of firesetters studied. As a result, female arsonists have been studied less often, and only a few authors have reported on their clinical features.
