Once again we have people who leave valuables in their vehicles.? It’s not to complicated to lock the doors. We have a group of diners who pull a “Chew & screw” Next we have what has to be the crime of the century. Two people break into the Aquarium seal exhibit . One keeps the peak while the other one feeds the seals.?They don’t make thieves like they used to.
Looks like the restaurant is in the middle of who picks up the tab dispute. A 12 way finger pointing contest.
