   A Los Angeles businessman whose warehouse was looted by a mob of young   
   people who crashed their way through the gate in a stolen car is demanding   
   Democratic leaders take crime more seriously.   
      
   "I voted for Karen Bass. I voted for Biden. I voted for Gavin Newsom. I’m   
   sick of it," Ryan Baggaley told FOX Los Angeles outside his boarded-up   
   warehouse Wednesday. "It’s like, at some point you have to give me a   
   reason to vote for you again."   
      
   Baggaley, speaking with Fox News Digital, said he and his three brothers   
   run the family construction business that their father founded 50 years   
   ago – Delta Construction & Electric Co. Despite steel gates and roll-down   
   doors, thieves slammed a stolen car into their warehouse in Los Angeles'   
   Glassell Park neighborhood before dawn Wednesday.   
      
   "The rage that me and my brothers have," he said. "You work so hard just   
   to survive and make a living, and oh, cool, you just bashed our whole   
   building up."   
      
   Video shows the thieves initially rammed through the wrong gate, blasting   
   a hole through it as one of the hooded accomplices pointed down the street   
   and told the driver, "Nah, over there, that gate."   
      
   They took thousands of dollars in tools and also stole personal valuables   
   the brothers kept inside, including musical instruments and studio   
   equipment, even as a recording blared through the security system warning,   
   "You are currently being recorded." Baggaley estimated the total loss at   
   over $100,000.

   Another brazen break-in caught on camera. Another L.A. business owner fed   
   up:   
      
   “I voted for Karen Bass. I voted for Biden. I voted for Gavin Newsom. I’m   
   sick of it. At some point you have to give me a reason to vote for you   
   again.”   
      
   The company's Ring system sent out an alert around 5 a.m., Baggaley said.   
   His wife called 911 six times in a half-hour period as he raced to the   
   warehouse in person, he said. Police arrived two hours later, blaming   
   staffing shortages and having no officers in the area.   
      
   He criticized the "defund the police" movement and said that while he   
   believes in holding bad cops accountable for their behavior, the majority   
   of police on the street provide an important service for society.   
      
   "I do want some action and want to say something and do something and vote   
   for people who want to put policies in place to make it a more civilized   
   country – where you can do your job and show up to work and make a living   
   and not be constantly frustrated," he said. "I have to create security   
   measures. We already fortify our building — tall gates, fences, a security   
   system, roll-downs and dead bolts on the front doors. What are we gonna do   
   now?"

   Baggaley is a self-described fiscal conservative who leans liberal on   
   social issues and tends to vote Democrat, he said. But he took aim at   
   elected officials he says are too afraid of standing up to the most vocal   
   activists with the most extreme views.   
      
   "If you gave me an alternative, I certainly would vote for them, if they   
   made some sense," he said.   
      
   He said he is proud to be a Californian, a descendant of pioneers who   
   built the West, but has had enough with soft-on-crime policy. Multiple   
   businesses on the same strip had been burglary targets in recent weeks,   
   including four attacks on the business next door.   
      
   "At some point, you look at it, and you go, 'Why aren't there cops on the   
   street at this time?'" he said.   
      
   The "crash and grab" or "ram-raiding" trend has been picking up steam   
   around the country. A highly publicized break-in at a Missouri gun store   
   cost the owners about $30,000 in merchandise and more than $200,000 in   
   repairs. Smaller brick-and-mortar stores, including boutiques that   
   specialize in rare vintage and collectible clothing, have been put out of   
   business.   
      
   The suspect vehicle used in Baggaley's break-in was stolen from the LAPD’s   
   impound yard, he said.   
      
   "I don’t want to leave," Baggaley said. "I'm not leaving. I'm standing my   
   ground. I want it to be better."
