Too many problems here. Why is the name of the gym not named? Gyms have cameras and records of who gets in. The sheriffs can use that data.
Dad, what are you doing shopping so early for Christmas?
This looks like it happened from the same LA Fitness where I had my wallet stolen along with 9 other lockers at Christmas time about 7 or 8 years ago. It happens more often at Christmas time when people are holding more cash in their wallets for Christmas shopping. Some of these thief’s use a look out man with a cell phone and just text their thief when to brake into each locker. There are no camera’s in the locker rooms. And I don’t think any of these Gyms have camera’s in their parking lots. I have family members that have had their cars broken into at that same parking lot. And their is no camera’s at another LA Fitness that I go to. This is a common problem and as cheap as camera’s are these days, these Gym’s don’t want to invest in these camera’s. They just have sign’s that tell the public they are not responsible.
