A thief in California has been caught on camera stealing 49 iPhones from an Apple Store, highlighting issues with the Bay Area's tolerance policies. The individual looted the phones in just 45 seconds and was seen walking in front of a parked police car, suggesting a lack of fear of law enforcement. The incident has prompted calls for action to local authorities, including San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins (@BrookeJenkinsSF), Police Chief (@SFPDChief), and Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao (@MayorShengThao), to address the situation and ensure the safety of the community. It was noted that the stolen display iPhones have tracking devices, which could potentially aid in apprehending the perpetrator.

What the actual … @MayorShengThao no one does a thing and this punk jogs right past a @oaklandpoliceca car! Too bad those display iPhones are useless… except for their tracking devices. https://t.co/33aqZnGW6p
Bay Area “tolerance” policies have gotten out of hand. Everyone watches idly as this guy shoves 49 phones down his pants. Watch until the end— the thief brazenly walks in front of a parked Police Car as if he owns the place. https://t.co/rqesOhRQam
There are no consequences???? Calling on @BrookeJenkinsSF @SFPDChief to do what’s right here. Thug needs to be detained for everyone’s safety. Sheesh. https://t.co/VWUc44iMM6

Felon loots 42 iPhones in 45 seconds. That’s impressive even by Gavin Newsom‘s lawless California standards. https://t.co/f6QE1hOrQS
