Cops and businesses know where the crooks operate. Video cameras are cheap these days. If it were my business, I would have installed cameras after the first couple of crimes.

Sounds like a good time for a "bait" car to catch the bad guys. Or at least have some officers in unmarked cars at times of greatest likelihood of burglary.

For In-n-Out, brighter lights and cameras in the lot would also go a long way to alleviate this issue.

Maybe it is time to increase penalties for crimes. I believe criminals should also pay for their time behind bars. Throw them in for a year and tax future wages for the cost. You might see less theft?

It does not hurt that in and out is one of the slowest fast food chains around. You could be waiting 15 to 20 minutes for order, especially after a concert at shoreline.

It's interesting that Palo Alto is 16% smaller but has 50% more auto burglary.

Maybe education in provershed areas? Creating programs like, for an example, we're in Silicon Valley- why not teach these criminals to code? Turn away from the life of a crime.

Just an idea.

I doubt most of these “criminals” would be able to learn how to write code. Either your giving them too much credit or giving coders a bad rap. Lol. Do you really think that would work? Maybe you could teach them. Lol.
