The suspects allegedly took thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, electronics and kitchen equipment, including a laptop, blender and items needed to screen World Cup games.<\/p>\n<p>Retodo shared surveillance footage on Instagram and asked the public for help identifying the people involved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe won\u2019t lie\u2014this one hurts,\u201d Retodo wrote. \u201cIncidents like this make us think twice. When people steal from a small business, they\u2019re not just taking equipment\u2014they\u2019re taking from the employees, the customers, the community events, and the dreams behind it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Retodo said the timing could not have been worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy partner called me on his jet and said, \u2018Hey, what happened?\u2019 He\u2019s like, \u2018I saw the news.\u2019 I said, \u2018E-40, we are going to be OK,\u2019\u201d Retodo told KRON. \u201cWe wanted to open with a bang today, playing the [World Cup] games, but we had to turn customers away. We had a party outside; made it happen, but it wasn\u2019t the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TJB Crew, have you ever visited E-40\u2019s restaurant?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"E-40 E-40\u2019s Oakland Restaurant Hit Twice In One Day As Thieves Steal World Cup Watch PartyEquipment E-40\u2019s Oakland&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-365470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
