Final assessment
All 25 reads agree two burglaries of a closed coffee cart are a specific named crime.
What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

Locationpresent25/25

Guidancepresent13/25
Final assessment

Timepresent25/25

Impactpresent13/25
Final assessment
Majority 13 of 25 treat stole items from the closed cart as stated property harm. Twelve treat that wording as restating burglary.
What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
See all 25 individual reads
- present: The text says suspects stole items from the closed cart, which is property loss rather than a bare crime label.
- present: Theft of items from a closed business is stated outright, so harm to property is present.
- present: Stolen items during closure describe a real property consequence beyond merely saying burglary.
- present: Property harm is coded because the suspects are said to have stolen items from the cart.
- present: Saying items were stolen while the business was closed states loss, not only the hazard name.
- present: Closed cart theft of items counts as property harm under this rubric.
- present: The consequence is theft of items, which goes past naming burglary alone.
- present: Property was taken from a closed business, which is a stated harm outcome.
- present: Stole items is an explicit loss statement, so severity is not just the word burglary.
- present: Items taken from the closed cart are treated as property harm, not a hollow label.
- present: Because the writing says items were stolen, consequence is coded rather than hazard name only.
- present: Theft from a closed coffee cart is property harm as the copy describes it.
- present: Stolen items while the business was closed name a property consequence, so this is not a zero.
- absent: Stolen items merely restate the burglary and do not describe harm, scale, or lingering danger.
- absent: Naming burglary and theft alone supplies no consequence or severity beyond the hazard.
- absent: The text never states injury, dollar loss, or an elevated risk to the community.
- absent: Custody boilerplate and stolen items do not convey severity or resulting harm.
- absent: Calling the event a burglary that stole items names the hazard without consequences.
- absent: No injuries, weapons, dollar amounts, or ongoing-danger language raise severity.
- absent: Unknown suspects and an open investigation do not by themselves describe consequences.
- absent: Item theft is the crime itself, so impact and seriousness remain unstated.
- absent: The hazard is labeled burglary without describing harm, loss magnitude, or residual risk.
- absent: There is no statement of injury, trauma, dollar loss, or heightened community danger.
- absent: Naming stolen items restates burglary and does not score as consequence or severity.
- absent: Ambiguous custody language and theft of unspecified items add no severity beyond the crime name.
