In-N-Out Burger will close its first location in its 75-year history due to a wave of car break-ins and robberies at its only restaurant in Oakland, California.

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.

      Crime is NOT plummeting in Oakland. Quite the opposite.

      I live here and have been in the area for decades. It’s legitimately bad now, and that parking lot is a shit show.

      *reported crime.

      At some point, store workers give up on calling in for your average shoplifter.
