In-N-Out Burger says it will close its first location in its 75-year history due to a wave of car break-ins, property damage, theft and robberies affecting customers and employees alike at its only restaurant in Oakland, California.
The fast-food burger joint in a busy corridor near Oakland International Airport will close on March 24 because even though the company has taken “repeated steps to create safer conditions our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized,” Denny Warnick, In-N-Out’s chief operating officer, said in a statement Wednesday.
So you’re telling me crime is up in this super economy? Nonsense…
Overall crime is down nationally. Some specific categories are overall trending upward (car theft, not surprisingly) and crime is always fluctuating in local areas in either direction.
