I love a story with a happy ending.
very happy ending indeed!
as a resident I can tell you there are no enforcement resources devoted to car breakin and car theft. as noted in the story, it is so bad that the state attorney general a/k/a Jerry Brown a/k/a former governor moonbeam had his car vandalized IN FRONT OF CITY HALL. and of course the perp was never caught.
when the police fail to do the job, this is what happens.
