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.

    I’m pretty inclined to believe the reason of crime in this instance because

    1. In-n-Out is so popular, most locations’ drive-thrus have 'round the block traffic
    2. Oakland is pretty crime ridden
    3. They’re only closing a single location, and In-n-Out is not franchised.

    It’s very likely that people backed up in the drive-thru line were being robbed. I used to think the stories about how fucked up that city is were just exaggerated until I had to work out there overnight. It really is that bad.
