The Salvation Army in San Francisco says a Grinch has gotten in the way of their Christmas meal deliveries.
They say multiple batteries have been stolen from their delivery trucks and they believe the most recent one was taken on Sunday night.
“My guess is they just got a car jack, put it sideways and started cranking in between these two until it broke the welds,” Major Matthew Madsen of the Salvation Army in San Francisco said.
On the cusp of the Salvation Army’s busiest time of the year, an unexpected setback at their SoMa location, with Christmas only two days away.
“Someone had busted through our fence, gotten to one of our trucks that has some of the items we’re going to be passing out and has stolen the battery,” Madsen said.
The nonprofit is gearing up to deliver 4,000 meals to home-bound seniors across the area on Christmas morning.

But only a few weeks ago, Major Madsen says the batteries were stolen from another delivery truck in the same lot.
