Things get stolen from restaurants
A report on a bit of stolen holiday decor widens out into a story about how restaurants constantly lose items to pilferage. Who are these barbarians who patronize a resto and think they have a right to anything not nailed down?

They’re not even patrons. They’re guys who were walking by, tried to steal something, and came back with tools to cut the wires holding it in place.

I know that’s the main story, but then it gets into people stealing things like hand soap dispensers – and they have to have been patrons, to be using the bathroom.

People don’t seem as inclined to steal Christmas decorations from people’s homes, so there must be some psychological thing going on where people think that because it’s a restaurant and therefore a pseudo-public space, it’s fair game.
Hard to explain the nutcracker thieves though. Is there a resale market for that kind of thing? Did one of them just really fancy the nutcracker?

Probably drunks out on a toot, thought it was hilarious at the time.
