He won’t move. Just collect the insurance and continue voting for it.

Cop: I know, folks. Sometimes we get so angry we feel like busting out and arresting the thieves. Then we settle down and do the mindfulness meditations we’re taught to do.

A lot of small businesses are quitting because of that but cheer up, the Democrats running the state into the ground will still have all the criminals voting for and keeping them in power. I wonder if their plans are to morally and financially bankrupt the state and then ask the Chinese government to come in help run it.

"...in California’s Bay Area..."

I think I found the problem. No sympathy from me.

actually kind of surprising. Hardware is usually for “do it yourself” types.
Not the type I associate with this behaviour.

“You’ll go, ‘Sir, sir, sir!’ and they don’t even turn around,”

...A: They aren’t “sirs”. They’re animals.
B: They know they can get away with it
C: Move. Stop voting Dem

If Governor Brylcream is the Rat Party nominee it's easy to imagine the ads by his GOP opponent.

Years and years ago, I managed a small local hardware store. Theft was a big issue. You wouldn’t think it but this was when qualified help was hard to find. The place had to close...low sales in the face of home centers and box stores. But shrinkage was a real problem. I swore to never work retail again.

I'm glad I was a LEO when prosecuting shoplifters in my small town was a frequent priority. I worked off-duty for one grocer and caught a well-known thief stealing spices. She was arrested and had to post bond.

Oftentimes, when you arrest these thieves, you find that they have other outstanding arrest warrants, often from several jurisdictions. Some even have felony warrants from the department of corrections for parole violation. The shoplifting is just the "presenting" symptom.

What the business paid me to work shoplifting duty was never covered by the value of the recovered stolen goods. But word got around in the thieving community quickly, and pre-emptively stopped a lot of would-be thieves from trying.

Just read a comment somewhere else, to bring the mafia back. Makes sense for a store like this to pay $500-$800 per day protection. The whole community would benefit.

“kept an accomplice at the door to warn employees against pursuing the thieves because they had guns”

Which constitutes a life or death threat, which justifies someone drawing on them and shooting first.

What starts in California almost always spreads east. Here we go. The laws are going to HAVE to change to allow to shoot to kill to stop this.

“”Other shoplifters brazenly filled a shopping cart with $11,000 in specialty wire, and kept an accomplice at the door to warn employees against pursuing the thieves because they had guns, Smith said.”

I just wished I lived nearby so that I could shop there and help financially support the business and the thievery.

I work for a living so, yes, raise my prices so I can support someone that doesn't (work).

Large mantraps on the exits, big enough for the shopping cart.

Put three 4K cameras in it with microphones.

If it ain’t on the receipt (if they even pretend to have one) nothing goes out the door but the empty handed thief.

If they don’t like it they can call the police.
