@foxnews: Homeowners rebuilding after the Palisades Fire say they’re getting hit again, this time by thieves targeting construction sites. Residents say tools, building materials and copper are disappearing from properties, forcing some homeowners to hire private security. One security company says its customer base in the area has nearly tripled since the fire. LAPD says it responded to a spike in thefts earlier this summer with undercover officers and increased traffic stops, helping drive crime back down. But frustrated neighbors say they still have serious questions about the city's response, and Mayor Karen Bass' office did not directly address their concerns.
