"He's been there for about three to four months, I believe," said Jimenez. "Conducts business every day. You see people from different nationalities, white people, black people, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, you name it."

Those in the area were grateful surveillance cameras captured the men responsible.

"They are nothing but creeps," said Jimenez. "It's better to have taco trucks than to have thieves in the streets. That's one thing. I would have the message to go get a job. That is a better way to make a living."
