Never forget that Republicans ran on eggs - West Seattle restaurant targeted in egg burglary amid rising prices

SEATTLE — Luna Park Café was hit early Wednesday morning, with thieves stealing hundreds of eggs. The burglary highlights the challenges faced by businesses in a time of soaring egg prices, caused in part by the ongoing bird flu outbreak.

Heong Park, the owner of Luna Park Café, was alerted to the break-in by security cameras. However, just as he arrived, the culprits fled.

"I've owned a restaurant for 18 years, this has never happened to me," Park said.

The burglary comes at a time when eggs have become a rare and expensive commodity due to the bird flu epidemic, which has led to the culling of over 150 million poultry birds in the U.S. since 2022.

they are still a good buy.

People are carrying on about the high price of eggs as if everyone needs to eat at least one egg a day or suffer dire consequences.
