The Capitol-themed gourmet popcorn truck Popped! Republic was found late Friday night after it was reported stolen Friday morning.
The food truck was reportedly stolen between 9 p.m. Thursday night and 7 a.m. Friday morning.
Owner Rich Arsian said his vehicle was parked at 2381 South Dove St. in Alexandria, Va. on Thursday and was gone the next morning.
The vehicle was found after a Twitter user spotted it near his workplace and alerted Popped! Republic.
DMV Food Truck Association Executive Director Che Ruddell-Tabisola said he’s never heard of a food truck being stolen before in the D.C. area, Washington City Paper reported.
The Alexandria-based company popped up in 2012 and is frequently spotted on campus near 22nd and I streets. The food truck is known for its unique popcorn flavors like Capitol Caramel, Congressional Cheddar and Mount Vernon Maple.
Prices range from $2 for a mini cup to $25 for an extra-large cup of chocolate-drizzled hot-air popped popcorn.
