Call your insurance company to report it? Guess what insurance companies are starting to deny claims, cancel policies, raising premiums even on folks who've had no claims.

@@345mrse in your other comments you seem to enjoy talking about black people speaking in racial terms… yet in this this story you made no mention of the thief’s race and your certainty did not disrespect his heritage and race… why is that?

Break-ins and theft is now legal in Los Angeles and will not be proscecuted. Thank you Mayor Karen Bass & D.A. George Gascon. You get what you vote for!

No wonder stores are closing up & moving out of " certain " neighbourhoods because of the attitude towards criminals & stealing & no consequences.

[@lukecat3825]

That store owner should be charged with assault. All LA restaurants residents have the right to steal anything they want. Ask their elected DA and the other idiots that decriminalized shoplifting. You’ll see the store owner should be prosecuted.
