Shocking videos have laid bare America’s $100billion-per-year shoplifting crisis with brazen thieves strolling out of stores including Home Depot and Ross Dress for Less.

Surveillance footage shows a gang of crooks wearing masks wheeling shopping carts full of valuable goods out of a Home Depot store in New York.

Another clip showed shoplifters loading up duffel bags and backpacks with perfumes and colognes from a Ross store in Colorado.

Lower corporate tax rates from reduced declared profits and executives win through higher salaries and benefits.

if one identifies as black, will he be able to shoplift and not get in trouble? asking for a friend

Most likely not. But why not be certain by draping himself in a rainbow flag? That oughta' do it (sarcasm)

You don’t have to load it fast. Just keep it under 9 hundred and mosey on out. You even might be able to ask for help loading it.

“They have declared it not a crime to steal up to $1,000 worth of things in one action. Per person. So that is no limit at all. The thief can go back as often as he wants. He can go in groups.”

Price every item in the store at $1,000.00 plus the normal price, and give a $1,000.00 per item automatic discount when the item is scanned at a register and paid for. No even stealing a pack of bubble gum becomes a crime. Hell, make it $10,000, and every theft becomes an automatic felony.

No doubt. Alot of issues are quickly reaching a boiling point. The boomerang effect from these last few years is going to be vicious.

How convenient!

They no longer have to riot and burn, so much less store damage.

All the money saved on store damage can stock more items to be stolen.

A much more efficient business model.

True, or I suppose I could do it over a few trips.

[zeugma]

But, but...we need to defund the police.

Unless you are prepared to station cops right there in home depot or other stores, the funding level of police doesn't really matter.

The most likely impact of police, is that they'll arrest anyone who stikes back against the thieves.

Zales Jewelry also got looted.

The entire inventory gone.

Losses are in the tens of dollars.

[Jewbacca]

That’s where I hide the keys to the safe.

That or under a job application.

“Most of those areas voted for what they’re getting.”

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

- experts warn shoplifting is costing retailers $100BILLION per year....not so it’s costing honest consumers Billions a year...retailers pass all their expenses on to the honest consumer!!!

Segregation and apartheid were in place for a reason.

I have one solution to this problem. Make everyone order the products they want online then have workers load the products into bins and/or carts. Have the people drive through to pick up their products after they have paid for them. This will employ more people and keep the thieves from coming into the stores.

For returns, do the same thing in reverse with a separate drive through.

Not all stores will need this. Only ones in the cultural Marxist shitholes.

[Sicon]

The left calls this “reparations”. Doesn’t matter if you voted for it, or even if they voted for it, they just do it anyway, by ignoring crime and the laws.

[ConservativeMind]

Why didn’t you just post the Daily Mail link?

The article is missing a very important detail - the companies by and large are forbidden to even press criminal charges. The most that tends to happen is if the thieves are ever identified they get criminal trespassed from the property. That's pretty well it. And I'm deep in the heart of "red" Texas, not some Marxist craphole. Every time I go to a store, any store, the place is getting robbed one way or another. Either out the door or at the checkout. Every. Single. Time. Which brings up a question about elections to come - with a constituency such as this, how long does orderly society exist until it gets voted down and out. The clock is ticking, nationwide.
