Instead of capitulating to the SFPD police chief, here’s a suggestion: put things in perspective. Acknowledge that yes, we shouldn’t steal things, but Louis Vuitton’s profits are, by their own metrics, flowing; the burglaries they endured in Union Square were the equivalent of you or I dropping a dollar bill on the ground. Louis Vuitton’s CEO, Bernard Arnault, is worth more than $200 billion. He can toss a money bag at the Union Square location and have it fixed up in no time.
