In-N-Out Burger is closing a location in Oakland for the first time in its 75-year history, as reported by CNN, citing a wave of crime including car break-ins and robberies as the reason. The debate over the company's responsibility to the communities it serves has intensified on social media. In a related incident, ABC7 News covered the reunion of a mother and her 2-year-old child who was kidnapped during a carjacking in the same parking lot as the In-N-Out. The child was found in San Leandro and the suspect was arrested by Oakland officers and Marin County sheriff’s deputies.
