When Cary Williams learned on May 30 that the paint store two doors down from her Santa Monica, California, boxing gym had been looted, she raced from her home to try to keep her own space safe.
She was too late. The windows of her gym, the Stables, had been smashed. The gym gear was gone, along with the video equipment she’d recently purchased to host virtual classes during the lockdown. In total, Williams estimates, there’s between $12,000 and $15,000 worth of damages and stolen goods. Even worse, she soon discovered she didn’t have the proper insurance to cover looting.
