Can you guys help me find a valid economic reason why Walmart has more of these “incidents” over, say, K-Mart? I’m drawing a blank. :)

Maybe the K-Mart Blue Light Specials remind thieves of patrol cars they have been given rides in.

Volume of customers...

My local K-Mart could start a bowling league down their aisles...

You can hardly get into WM parking lot sometimes...

WalMart had $482 billion in revenue last year, Kmart & Sears, combined, $25 billion.

I think something like 140 million people shop at Wal-Mart every week. With that kind of foot traffic they are bound to have more problems than others. Demographics play a role as well. Meanwhile, K-Mart employees are claiming that the entire company if about to cease operations.
