What? Is this happening in the United States too? 😯 🫢 I really thought this was only happening in the country where I live. I'm really shocked!

I guess it's more poor people who can't afford basic goods. Everything is so expensive now and some people can't even pay for food.

[DubiousIntentions]

And a lot of people just don't want to work, or they would have no problem getting food.

[pizzalovershouse]

@DubiousIntentions 😊👍

[menina]

@DubiousIntentions That's also true, but I'm only thinking about those work but still don't have enough money for food.

In a recession, when stores are not allowed to punish prosecute or detain shoplifters, small or otherwise easily concealable items tend to grow feet and walk away and fail to stop at the register on their way out. That being the case, stores have to respond to the government we live under which favors the criminal more than the merchant.

Thanks for MHO

Awelcome

It is because most democrat cities no longer prosecute shoplifters. This basically rings the dinner bell for them. The next step is that stores will start closing their doors and moving out and letting the fine citizens of those cities to fend for themselves.

Thanks for the MHO😎

I would say all of the above. But smash and grabs can cost a store $Millions, as is the case with jewelry stores. A person doesn't even need to be hungry and steal for food. People just steal because they can get away with it.

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

People steal ANYTHING. I work for a kind of dollar store chain and we even have to keep the icebox outside locked. And no, we aren't in a crime infested area.

[DubiousIntentions]

Most places keep their ice cabinets located outside locked. It keeps itchy fingers honest.

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

@DubiousIntentions true. In my next town over they usually keep em unlocked I don't know how they get away with it lol. When I've had to unlock it for customers I've been asked countless times "why do you have it locked" and I just feel like facepalming 🤦‍♀️

[dustybiker]

Smash and grabs. There are stores in my area that don’t allow you to enter with a backpack. Ballsy considering that’s not quite legal either.

[dustybiker]

At least telling kids to leave them near the door. - details.

[DubiousIntentions]

The same with banks. No sunglasses, hoodies, or hats. But people have the right to protect their livlihood.

[dustybiker]

@DubiousIntentions Very true.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It's cuz of smash an grabs.

[BJP21]

People are desperate for basic needs. When they are deprived they resort to stealing.

[Hypermotard1916]

You are witnessing a fall of empire. oh prices have gone up due to inflation, food shortages, reduction in police force, war funding,...

[douride2]

Because people will steel anything.

[legalboxers]

too much theft, esp here
