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.

    Yeah, the people who think crime is down in Oakland are really uninformed. A nationwide average doesn’t mean every city is doing great. Oakland has been struggling for a while, and it needs help, not people pretending that things are fine.

    The data doesn’t look great in Oakland, and you can really see and feel the struggling in this city if you spend any time here.
