Window Crashers

Some drunks crashed into and broke this window of the Kramerbooks bookstore, but when police arrived, they wouldn't let the store press charges. Really? You break a window with a baseball bat and are arrested, but when you throw your friend through a (very expensive) window and damage hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise, you're allowed to get off without even a slap on the wrist? Are books not worth anything to people? I bet if it was an electronics store with damaged computers and such they would have been in a world of trouble. What do you think?
