Starbucks1Santa Clarita Sheriff’s deputies are asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect who used a Starbuck’s gift card that had been stolen from a Canyon Country woman’s unlocked car.

Her vehicle was parked in the 27500 block of Trail Ridge Road of Canyon Country during the late night hours on Thursday, January 15.

The victim had registered the gift card online with Starbucks and received a text from Starbucks showing the gift card had been used locally.

Detectives on the case discovered the gift card was used the next day at the Starbucks located at 24802 Orchard Village Road in Santa Clarita the next day.

Detectives obtained three surveillance photos of a male using the stolen gift card to make a purchase and are now asking the public’s assistance in identifying this male.

Anyone with information about this incident, or knowing the identity of the male in the surveillance photographs; please contact Detective Rubalcava at 661-255-1121 or at AVRubalc@lasd.org.

  1. Wow. Dumb girl should have locked her doors. But I’m not surprised with scv making a story like this “news”

  2. I wish I could dislike this post

  3. Sad! You leave your car unlock then cry when something goes missing from it?

  4. Sarah Elizabeth Johnson Not sure if you may have been working that day.

  5. He may be responsible for other thefts/burglaries or have purchased it from someone who is. Think past the headline…

  6. That’s new gift card bandit

  7. This is a joke right?!

  8. Tova Hornung says:

    She can log in and cancel it and get a new one. Duh so easy omg! Only if it was registered tho.

  9. Ha ha. At least he got her the star for the purchase

  10. How do they know the gift card stolen and his were the same???

  11. You think they got any leads?

  12. The point is, he is a thief…unlocked car, purse in a shopping cart..wallet on a counter! Not your bad, just a momentary lapse, and a jerk like him is just waiting!

  13. Mike Navarro says:

    She left her car unlocked and suddenly she is to blame? How about not taking stuff that’s not yours

  14. She probably dropped it and now wants to make a big stink over it and let an innocent boy pay the price for her stupidity

  15. Ohhh nooo!….lock ur doors and hide ur children there’s a Starbucks bandit on the loose lol!! ONLY IN THE SCV!

  16. Petty theft can’t press charges but if he gets caught just some jail time

  17. You’re kidding…. ITS JUST A GIFT CARD! -.- this guy could’ve stolen other things. This is just stupid.

  18. This is really stupid. Probably her exboyfriend, and she’s pissed at him or something stupid like that.

  19. Is this a joke? This is what the deputies are spending their time doing?

  20. How did this make the news?!? I mean, REALLY!!!

  21. How did this make the news?!? I mean, REALLY!!!

  32. The ignorance is thick in this thread….

  33. And I’m sure if they are going through all of this, there was other stuff stolen that they aren’t mentioning.,.

  34. Marlene Link says:

    Really people? In many parts of the wonderful US of A you don’t have to lock your doors for fear of being robbed. Parents teach their children to respect other people’s property, and taking without asking is STEALING. I guess those of you who think it’s ok to steal if someone doesnt “lock up”are teaching their children it’s ok. God help us!!

  36. What is wrong with you people? Stealing is WRONG. No matter door unlocked or whatever. You think it’s ok to just take anything you want? Morally empty!!!!

  38. How do they know it’s her card? I didn’t realize you could personalize a gift card? And how much was the drink!? Is it really worth it? How about if she dropped the card?
