Police aren't showing up for this.

The law generally puts responsibility on the party that should know better, which is the professional.

Are we talking about the US now? Because I’m pretty sure that where I live (Germany), if the stuff you break is valuable enough, police will definitely arrest you if you try to leave without paying after breaking something.

Is that not the case in the US?

Depends on where you are. Many cities have under resourced police departments that have reputations for ignoring and refusing to investigate non violent crime.
