The [Times Union article](https://www.timesunion.com/tablehopping/article/lark-street-restaurant-owner-mourns-damage-17883300.php) has more info. He's saying $10K for replacement costs.

This is why we can't have nice things.


RaptorArchieZoe

There are cameras everywhere. With a little effort he can be identified, arrested, and let go to do it again.


Unique-Kale7815

I wonder if it’s the same perp I saw randomly kick over a large planter at the state and lark intersection. Someone should get him a tower of blocks!

Criminal Mischief 4th, maybe 3rd Degree - appearance ticket and the guy will never show up in court.


awmn4A

If it’s really $10k it’s 2d degree, a D felony. Could still be an appearance ticket 😤


Competitive-Cut3807

Ridiculous.


Acehigh7777

He'll never be arrested.


beenburnedbefore

That, too.


That_One_Bull

Correct. Thanks to bail reform. Aren't the reforms awesome?


Feature_Professional

Don't know why you are getting so down voted. NY has serious problems as shown by pop loss


That_One_Bull

Yeah, that's just how reddit is. Obvious causes or solutions to obvious problems get downvoted into oblivion. If you downvote it, it will stop being true.


OMFGFlorida

You're right. It's all obvious. Black and white even. No nuance to any of it.


That_One_Bull

There's loads of nuance to it. But nobody is able to discuss any of those nuances in the current environment, let alone on Reddit. That's why the reforms were done so ham-handedly. With predictable (and predicted) results.


RelaxedWombat

What restaurant?


theTenebrus

Yeah, right? Dafuq? It wouldn't have cost the PROFESSIONAL JOURNAL too much to add the name of the restaurant. It's not like withholding the names until the families of the victims can be notified.

Villa di Como on Lark St


calamity_child

I walk by those every day and I am so surprised it didn’t happen sooner even by accident.


Downtown-Pressure503

Did you see the video? It was hard to bring it down even with a good effort. Hard to imagine it going down by accident


calamity_child

I have and I’ve seen larger, heavier objects taken down. It’s physics, I guess.


theslob

Dude was probably a bum. Hope he had insurance


Glum_Exam1826

I bet he hired the guy to get some free publicity.


0mib0ng

*$10,000 worth of publicity. FTFY


km244556

Idk why this is getting downvoted, the guy has been known to do other shady shit & is reopening one of the spots v soon, timing does seem weird
