Query:
Since the crunch of the current economic recession set in, restaurant
operators have reported a slight increase in "dine and dash" episodes. I'm
looking for sources who 1. could confirm this, 2. could offer some
interesting stories about "dine and dash" events, 3. explain why they think
this is happening, and 4. offer advice to restaurateurs how to protect
themselves against such thefts.
