I have a theory that certain stores are to be looted so the owners can collect insurance for stolen goods.
Goods they weren’t able to sell during lockdown and wouldn’t have been able to make a profit on...
Talking chain stores here.
Several of the stores they’ve hit are not chain stores. They’re just going for the things that hoodrats like: shoes, jewelry, electronic gadgets.
The looters are working neighborhoods and districts. They appear to prefer upscale shoes and electronics, as most young looters would be expected.
MY understand is most insurance had a “civil unrest/riot” clause so unless additional insurance is purchased, they are SOL.
