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.

And in Canada, at least one Tim Horton's restaurant had to close dine-in because of violent drug addicts and homeless people making it unsafe for everyone. 😵

I thought that the whole "bay area is getting worse" was a front propagated by big businesses trying to hide their corporate losses to shareholders. Weird huh

I happily hop on Bart to go to SF and spend a day as a pedestrian. No issues, minimal to none of the rumored stuff.

Oakland... I'll make a Bart transfer there and I've never felt too unsafe. I left the West Oakland station once and people looked at me like "what the hell are you doing?" I went back.

I have driven through Oakland, rode Bart through Oakland, flown into and out of OAK. I don't linger in Oakland outside of tourist spots (Jack London Square). Alameda, nearby, hasn't been an issue for me.
