Owner Mariana Bakana says this was the first time the shop has been broken into.

"My question is why - why me - why a small business?" she said. "I'm glad for my friends here because they are the ones who help me. Because I was crying here by myself. The police showed up here to take a report, but I didn't see nobody help me emotionally."

Bakana worries she will be forced to leave San Francisco if the issue happens again.
