Despite\u2062 the trauma, they remain hopeful for \u200ba safer Oakland Chinatown through community efforts and resilience. The Trinh family, proprietors of Phuong Jewelry in Oakland, experienced a tragic robbery, losing 85-90% of their inventory to armed\u200d thieves. The absence of business insurance added to the ordeal, but family members displayed courage during the incident. Despite the hardship, they maintain\u2063 optimism for a safer Oakland \u2063Chinatown with\u2062 community unity and determination.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/31-shot-during-new-years-weekend-in-mayor-lori-lightfoots-chicago\/\" title=\"31 Shot During New Year's Weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Chicago\">crime runs rampant<\/a> in the Bay Area, an Oakland, California, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-mexico-governor-allegedly-spent-thousands-in-taxpayer-money-on-groceries-liquor-dry-cleaning-report\/\" title=\"New Mexico Governor Allegedly Spent Thousands In Taxpayer Money On Groceries, Liquor, Dry Cleaning: Report\">jewelry store<\/a> that has been in business for 40 years was <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7news.com\/exclusive-armed-suspects-clear-out-phuong-jewelry-in-oakland-chinatown\/14649607\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">robbed<\/a> of 85-90% of its inventory when eight thieves brandishing weapons and accompanied by two getaway cars hit the store Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Trinh family, which owns Phuong Jewelry in Oakland\u2019s Chinatown Wednesday, had let their business insurance lapse because premiums had risen.
