Homeowner witnesses thieves ransack Southern California …

News /

A homeowner from the Lakewood area of Los Angeles County is shaken after watching a pair of thieves ransack her home on her security camera. The incident occurred around 11:30 a.m. Thursday, when the property owners -- who do not want to be identified -- were not home. The homeowners witnessed the burglars breaking into their house on the Ring app.

They called 911 immediately, but deputies were not able to reach the Lakewood Drive home in time to catch the suspects. According to the homeowner, the burglars were inside the home for roughly four minutes and 30 seconds. The pair of suspects went to the upstairs bedroom and took multiple suitcases. They ransacked the rest of the home and stole cash, jewelry, and a safe.

Efforts underway to save iconic Santa Monica diner

News /

Efforts are underway to save an iconic diner in Santa Monica, California. It’s hard to miss Patrick’s Roadhouse when driving down Pacific Coast Highway with its bright-green exterior adorned with dinosaurs and kitschy sculptures on the roof. Founded by Bill Fischler in 1973, the iconic diner has been a staple for many locals and celebrities alike including Lucille Ball, Johnny Carson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Golden Hawn and more.

Throughout the years, the restaurant has been crowned “Best Diner in California,” “Best Banana Cream Pie in the USA” and in 2024, it was named “Best Diner in the USA.” Patrick’s Roadhouse has been featured twice on Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” and the 1991 film, “Point Break.”

However, despite its storied legacy, the diner was not spared during the COVID-19 pandemic and has struggled to recuperate the rent that was owed during the forced closure of dining rooms. A GoFundMe campaign hopes to raise enough money to pay the back rent owed from that time.

New numbers show inflation remains stubbornly high …

News /

New inflation numbers on April 26, 2024, revealed the cost of many essentials remains high for consumers. The federal government's report showed prices rose at an annual rate of 2.7% last month, just a bit higher than the month before.

"Inflation remains persistent and unacceptably high," said Mark Hamrick, a senior economic analyst at Bankrate. According to the report, one of the sticking points is healthcare costs, which make up about a fifth of the economy. Hamrick said unexpected trips to the doctor often hurt consumers the most. "That can really be damaging to their personal finances," he said. 

Vincent Plymell with the Colorado Division of Insurance said the cost of owning a car, from insurance to repairs, is also driving inflation. "To do anything, you need a car," Plymell said. "And so that's going to impact people."
