After years of California’s ridiculous law saying stealing goods worth less than $950 is not even a crime and law enforcement not responding to such thefts, it is GREAT to see these criminals’ pictures plastered in the press. They ARE criminals and committing crimes against all of us. Thank you CCN for posting these pictures! Law enforcement GO GET UM! If you recognize these people, please report it.
