Failing to protect private property could be a death sentence to California. Does the state have a plan for handling chronic robberies should it extend into wealthier neighborhoods and homes themselves? What if they become organized and funded?

You're correct. It is quite ridiculous.

It's a proactive mindset in response to how crime was handled. Not just a one time thing either, but done enough without any repercussion so that a business had to close down.

I'm not sure if time is a missing factor within my post, but this isn't something expected over-night. This is something that could manifest into a bigger issue overtime should the state and other cities address "petty theft" in the same manor.

In essence, in order to prevent organization around being able to steal, both the state and city need to protect business' and make it clear that this kind of behavior comes with consequences worse off than those that they're already in.

If protecting business from crime and what it could eventually lead into is 'ridiculous', I'd certainly be open to changing my mindset on the matter if you could provide the rational for why something like this wouldn't happen.
