It happened again

The Starbucks near my work has been vandalised to varying degrees about 4 or 5 times.

Everytime, it gets cleaned up, rebuilt and then reopened.

Walking past it this morning I noticed that it had been attacked again.
Starbucks in Hong Kong is run by the local Hong Kong company Maxims and the daughter of one of their founders made some unfortunate comments about the nature of the Hong Kong protests.  This lead to a quick reaction from the protesters against all things Maxims (including Starbucks).

I feel bad for the employees of this Starbucks, but I also can't understand why they haven't put in place some better security after all of this vandalism.  Surely by now they must have realised that this location needed some better metal gates or something like that?
