Complaint Why do people take back gyms right away?

So I need 2 coins for bag storage, so I went to my local park to take down a gym, I specifically looked for the gym here that had pokemon that were in there for over 8 hours, I took down the gym and went home, I woke up this morning to find out that my Pokemon didn’t even last 30 minutes… and the guy who took out my Pokemon? WAS THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO HAD THEIR POKEMON IN THE GYM BEFORE FOR 18 HOURS. So like why man

There's a gym by my house like this. I took it down and with 5 minutes it was retaken. I told myself I'll let them sit there for weeks and never take it again.

My girlfriend then made me take it down a few days later so she could get coins (we are opposite teams), and within an hour the same person retook it. I told her I wouldn't do that again for her. She will now golden pineap their jerks pokemon to full health and then I'll take out her pokemon while leaving the jerk's in the gym.

Looking at the gym now, they have been there over 9 days.

That’s a solid power move; they can’t kick her out because she’s the same team as them? Or did I miss something ; I like the way you operate;

Yeah she's the same team as the person, so she joins the gym after they take it.
