This is happening to me in random venues (not just my hometown) I can't adjust the NAPs as it's not my hometown. It's causing bars etc to be deemed incomplete as furniture keeps disappearing.

@TheArtsAddictYou have to try to find out who's stealing. Visit the venue and observe. It can be frustrating and time consuming but until you identify who the thief is, you won't know what neighborhood is tainted. After you identify who the sim or sims are, take control of a family in that neighborhood the thief lives and either repeal the NAP through mailbox voting or drop a billboard in a park of that neighborhood and either vote or cheat click insta repeal. Can be in the weirdest places. I thought I read somewhere that Strangerville could not be affected by NAP's but after seeing the library cleaned out, sure enough the NAP sharing is caring was enabled.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to any community lot
What happens when the bug occurs? NPC come into restaurant/bar/etc and steal stuff - everything. This empties the location of all tables, chairs, and more in a mere 1-3 minutes (real time). This issue makes it unplayable. We have disabled NPC voting on NAPs Removed all 'Sharing is caring' from EVERY neighborhood (even promenade). Checked to make sure the sims stealing things arern't Klepto's (none have been). We fully uninstalled/reinstalled the game. It is fully up to date. All repairs/patches are current. (Finished this all last night). This is our "Legacy" game, since 2017 - we really need this fixed, so we can continue with our families and houses.
What do you expect to see? I expect items to stay where they were, not being stolen the second my sim gets to a lot.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
