What's a little pistol whipping among friends. Slap on the wrist would suffice so they can be at it once again. Can't imagine anyone giving this kind of response if it was their child's life being threatened. Guess it takes all kinds!   more ›

I agree Wendy. Also, why was there a 20 minute window from burglary to NAPD being on the scene? That is a little strange!   more ›

Why was the backdoor left unlocked? My guess, an employee helping with this. These fast food restaurant owners don't care a darn about their employees. Profit is all they care about, or they would mandate that at least 3 employees are on at closing for safety reasons. They are also open too late. Close at 10pm. Simple.   more ›

So I wonder if he had an accomplice who stayed with the bike and kept it running. No real good place to 'cycle' to in that area. It would look strange to see 2 people, one a big man, piled on a bicycle and booking through a parking lot.   more ›
