The full story
In May 2026, surveillance footage from 'Gone Astray Goods,' a sourdough micro-bakery located on Boxelder Drive in Loveland, Colorado, circulated widely. The video showed a woman taking multiple packages of oatmeal cream pies from the business's outdoor, honor-system farm stand without payment. The owner, Stephanie Courville, reported that the woman returned to the stand weeks later. During this second interaction, Courville confronted the woman about an outstanding 'tab' from her previous visit. When asked how she intended to pay, the woman claimed she needed to retrieve her phone from her vehicle. She then left her bag behind and fled the scene. Courville followed the woman and recorded her attempting to maneuver a Range Rover in a way that obscured the license plate, which Courville subsequently provided to the Loveland Police Department. Following the submission of this evidence, the Loveland Police Department identified and formally charged the suspect. The department issued a statement emphasizing that accountability is required for farm-fresh goods. While the suspect was identified and charged, her name has not been released in public reports.
