Damages from the break-ins, looted inventory, and the lawless environment of what may be America\u2019s most liberal city prompted them to give up.

We have no protection, or recourse, against the criminal behavior that goes unpunished. Do not be fooled into thinking that insurance companies cover losses. We have sustained 15 break-ins \u2026 we have not received any financial reimbursement since the 3rd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The owner at Rains tells me after five break-ins in about three weeks, she made the sudden decision to permanently close.

It\u2019s just not sustainable,\u201d Landolfo said. \u201cThe products that are being targeted are the very expensive winter products and I just felt like the minute I get those in the store they\u2019re going to get stolen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last month, beleaguered Mayor Ted Wheeler pledged to offer Business Repair Grants to help business owners fix damage from break-ins.
