“The wanted poster reads: “Who builds a multi-million dollar house right behind Hinano’s (est. 1962) and then calls the police 30 times in one day to complain about the noise? Last seen manically calling 911 from a brand-new mansion.””
CORROBORATED
Two separate web search results detail the content of the 'Wanted' poster, stating it alleged that David Feige built a multi-million dollar house behind Hinano's and called the police numerous times regarding noise complaints.

“He added he has lived in the neighborhood for a long time, and the noise at Hinano “has only been an issue since the outdoor space was created and has also made clear that they don’t support the posters and had nothing to do with it.””
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim states Feige said the noise issue began after the outdoor space was created and that he did not support the posters. While the general context of Feige addressing the noise issue is present, the specific details regarding the noise starting *only* after the outdoor space was created, and his explicit statement that he did not support the posters, are not independently corroborated by multiple sources. The evidence is sparse on this specific detail.
““What we don’t do is put each other’s faces on ‘Wanted’ posters,” the bar wrote, slamming the flyers targeting Feige as “reckless and irresponsible.””
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that Hinano Cafe condemned the posters and stated they did not create them is reported in the web search results, but no other independent source corroborates this specific quote or action, limiting the verdict to single_source.
“The post featured a photo of Hinano owner Mark Van Gessel alongside restaurateur Manuel Giusti and Feige himself.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence was gathered from web search, cross-references, or Wikipedia regarding a photo featuring Mark Van Gessel, Manuel Giusti, and David Feige together.
