CHICAGO (AP) — All the burglars use the same audacious tactics: A vehicle crashes through a storefront in the wee hours and up to six people in dark clothing and ski masks pour out, grabbing whatever they can with the speed of a NASCAR pit crew.
Then the thieves dash out over the broken glass to a waiting getaway car.
Since September, at least a dozen "crash-and-grab" burglaries have been reported at retail businesses in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Some targeted high-end businesses, including a Neiman Marcus store on the famed Magnificent Mile. Others struck less affluent locations such as a pawn shop on the South Side and clothing stores on the far West Side.

Why waste time breaking the doors down with rocks. Time is money.
Crash, loot and drive off.
We really are an exceptional country.
They see it as REPARATIONS.
Normal people figger....
1. They take stuff
2. They feel bad
In fact #2 is wrong —they’re NOT feeling bad.
They think “The Man” OWES them this stuff.
My immediate thought as a business owner in that area, would be to get a double fence, made of iron posts. That would be expensive for a 7/11 type store, but in some areas, you need that.
A small, strategically placed charge of high explosive might produce interesting results.
Tear gas programed to go off with illegal entry might be fun.
If they put their talents toward a legitimate purpose, they’d be rich.
They could be Obama’s sons!
you ever hear a democratic mayor complain that people have no stores close by to buy fresh food?
THAT, Mr. Biden, is why free citizens NEED 30 rounds!
A half-dozen folks napping on broken glass would be a great deterrent.
I wonder if when they rebuilt the wall, if they put iron or steel poles inside the cinder blocks for reinforcement against a repeat occurrence).
something seems amish....
/get it?
Yeah, I get it ***GROAN*** :-)

Standard bumper post would do it.

With the alarm system, if after hours, and window broken, automatically flood store with knock out gas
I really like the security videos on these crimes.
Late at night, completely peaceful, dim light, then - BOOM! - a car drives right through the front door.
Liberal response: But...but...but, they could fall down and hurt themselves...I sue you...ACLU..
Crash-and-Grab tactics. A perfect metaphor for the way Boehner, Reid and Obola are destroying America.
Flashfog is a brilliant system, staying one step ahead of the bad guys.
