A woman who allegedly participated in the looting of a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake during protests in Seattle has become an unlikely Internet star over the weekend.
The woman, who was not identified, was filmed by a crew with KIRO-TV on Saturday, gently carrying what appeared to be an entire strawberry-topped cheesecake down the street, a block away from the location of a Cheesecake Factory on Pike St. in downtown Seattle.

During the broadcast of the footage, a KIRO-TV reporter noted that the Cheesecake Factory had been looted, though she admitted that it was “unclear” where the woman may have obtained the cheesecake. She also appeared to be carrying a wine glass, a champagne flute, and a small vase.
KIRO-TV further reported that the restaurant was just one of many businesses in the area to be vandalized following what was reportedly “several hours of peaceful gatherings and marches” in Seattle.
