The criminals are robbing Italian restaurants now, that would not end well, people are going to get killed.
And the animal shelters are full of dogs that need homes, the business owners can get a couple of big dogs from the shelter to turn loose in their business at night, like the junk yards do. The big dogs will protect your property.
Also, right now is a good time to get jobs as Security Guards and Body Guards, those are good jobs. Spielberg pays his Body Guards $100,000 per year. The stars pay their Body Guards well. And all of the clubs in Hollywood have security guards and they are all making good money. I watched the door at Empire West and was able to make honest money at a point when I was homeless and hungry, the job gave me the opportunity to rent a cheap hotel room at the Oban Hotel on Yucca and Highland in Hollywood and to buy food. Security jobs are good jobs for starving artists.
Salute,
Tony V.
