No joke. This is a crime problem not a "EV bad, gas good" thing. I'm sure gas stations get ripped off / vandalized all the time, too.

"BREAKING: Staffed gas stations have been robbed at gun point, scaring drivers into buying EVs so they can charge alone safely instead"

It's an inequality problem. If the rich are using luxury extension cords in a state of extreme inequality, then ofc the cords will be stolen. It's just a smaller version of the problem with EVs overall. They're not a sustainable solution for a planet but rather a way for auto manufacturers to stay rich off a tiny, extremely privileged minority.
