Stealing is Wrong?

Someone ought to notify the authorities:

• Chicago police said they are investigating at least three incidents in which customers had their phones and other personal belongings stolen inside different Starbucks locations in the city Monday.
  
  One of the victims told ABC7 Eyewitness News he was seated at a table the Starbucks at 40 North Clinton Street in the West Loop at about 1:30 p.m. with his phone resting on a book. He said a man in his late teens or early twenties grabbed the phone and ran. Another customer attempted to stop him before he could leave.
  
  [...] Police said similar thefts were reported around the same time at least two other Starbucks locations; the stores at Grand and Milwaukee in West Town and at Desplaines and Kinzie in the Fulton River District.

This part though:

• The early-afternoon crime wave left Starbucks customers shaking their heads.
  
  "I think it's despicable that people would go to that extent, to show up at a Starbucks just to take someone else's phone," said Elias Haddad, Starbucks customer. "It's wrong."
  
  "It's sad, it's sad," said customer Scott Larson. "You go to a place where you want to read or do work, and unfortunately you have to stay vigilant, even when you just want to relax."

Starbucks allows non-customers to come in, hang out, use the bathroom, shoot dope, etc. Their workers refuse to serve officers in uniform or write derogatory names on their orders. Voters have elected a social justice warrior who thinks theft isn't a crime, shoplifting has to reach double the threshold of State Law, and gun offenders deserve I-bonds.

Why would you (A) patronize these places and (B) be surprised when crime comes to where there are no consequences?
