I can't tell if that is missing a comma or not, it works both ways, but with a comma it may be a bit better. Regardless, OT.Luckily locals have found a solution to counter the problem, as shown in one of the videos:

If only the Olympic Committee had seen this sign, Chicago could have been hosting today
Ryan Lochte and his teammates left out a huge part of their "robbery" story -- which is that they busted up a gas station bathroom, and THEN a security guard pulled a gun on them ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Sources connected to James Feigen tell us the real deal is ... the 4 swimmers -- including Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz -- were on their way home from a party early Sunday morning when they stopped to take a leak at a gas station. We're told one or more of the guys was peeing outside the bathroom, and also kicked in the bathroom door.
Our sources say the swimmers were all wasted.
That's when the gas station's armed security guard rolled up, pulled his gun and demanded they pay for the damage. We're told he did take money from the swimmers, but only to cover the expenses, and then let them go.

Yep. Reminds me of the "Slow Children at Play" sign on my street when I was a kid. I was never quite sure if the sign was a thinly veiled insult or a warning to drivers.

I've been puzzled about what the motive would be for them to make up a robbery story. Now things are starting to make sense.
Isn't that still robbery though? If you owe me $100 and pull a gun to make you pay that's robbery in the US. Sure, Lochte et al should not have trashed the bathroom and refused to pay for damages, but the owner is in the wrong as well.I've been puzzled about what the motive would be for them to make up a robbery story.

Apparently TMZ is the only thing in the US resembling investigative reporting. NBC was too busy showing the same 3 highlights for the 100th time to look into it (or to show any non-US competitors besides Bolt).

I don't know, if you destroy private property and begin a fight, the owner or private security personnel may demand payment on the spot, especially in a gas station where people come and go all the time. I truly do not know where Brazilian law stands on this.
What would it be like in the US? Can you enter commercial private property, break or damage goods/facilities and leave if you just give the owner your ID info? Or is the owner entitled to demand on-the-spot payment? Or detain the offender until police arrives?
