Curfew and sabotage are announced mechanics with rivals able to sabotage you too. Since Update #7, security falls one level every two days without incidents instead of dropping from 5 to 1. Exact hours, penalties and countermeasures are not verified.

Update #8 (November 6) closes the in-game menu when curfew starts and makes the Docks wreckage area in Bonaventure work during curfew. Boat signs no longer switch off during curfew, and the curfew timer and scan icons no longer show in photo mode. Staff from an AI venue stop coming to use furniture you stole from them. These are the developer’s notes; Kingy has not tested them.
A location’s security level no longer drops from 5 straight to 1. It now falls one level every two days without incidents, and being caught again at level 5 keeps it at 5. Furniture stolen from another venue during curfew is no longer replaced the next morning; that venue goes without it for 3 days. Security cameras were reworked in Seaside Boardwalk, Helix, Calypso Island, Hive Mall, SkyHigh Gardens, Space Port and Metro Hub, so older camera notes for those areas may be out of date. Kingy has not tested any of this.
Getting caught during curfew no longer traps the player. Furniture moved in property you do not own returns to its original position. This does not establish new curfew hours, penalties or a universal recovery procedure.
The Q&A says day and night offer different opportunities and points to the curfew as part of that design. The store connects curfew, security systems and sabotage against rivals.
The store explicitly warns that what you do to competitors can also happen to you. This establishes exposure to interference; it does not reveal its frequency, repair cost or the equipment needed to prevent it.
In one community recording uploaded September 30 (before Update #2), the player carries a piece of kitchen equipment out of another restaurant while a Security Awareness meter at the bottom of the screen climbs, next to a Security Level indicator. Placement prompts such as Not Valid Property also appear. Penalties and what happens when the meter fills are not shown, so this page still describes no safe route.
On screen: Inside another restaurant's kitchen the player picks up a piece of equipment and carries it out; a Security Awareness meter at the bottom climbs from +10% beside the Security Level indicator, and prompts such as Not Enough Space and Not Valid Property appear before a fridge is set down.

Read the in-game warning and record the time, location, security response and any lasting effect. Kingy has not tested a safe route, a way to avoid penalties, or a money-making sabotage strategy.
Until release-build evidence is available, treat this as a description of the announced system. It should not be used as a promise that a particular action is safe or reversible.
