And it’s not just Walgreens either.

Every merchandise store is open season.

...Six heists, $1,000 each in two weeks. Fence the stuff for maybe $500. That’s $3,000 tax-free. Should pay for his dope. He is definitely getting something he needs...

If you have stolen something worth $1000 at retail, you will be very lucky to fence it for $100. $50 to $75 is a lot more likely.

Just short of perhaps $2k/week.

You are probably correct.

I’ll bet week to week, some of these folks are stealing $2,000 a week. If I were running a store, I’d put everything behind a glass plate and once you swipe your credit card...you can have the product to put into your basket.

Update:

In connection to Saturday’s incident, Lugo-Romero is charged with attempted grand theft, entering a business with the intent to commit theft and possession of narcotics paraphernalia, police said.

Maybe he was a closet gay and didn’t want to openly buy “female cosmetics”. Give the girl a break, will ya.

Start with the right leg and keep on “breakin”.

CBS. The Communist Broadcasting System, home to the “let the poor rob you” support group.

The Walmart in Mt View, CA has a lot of things in locked cages including ordinary products like shave cream and laundry detergent! Same at CVS. Good luck finding the employee who can unlock the cage for you. It’s made shopping at stores even more fun.

It’s driven low-life like Lugo-Romero to become porch pirates because the stores stopped giving them stuff. It must be rough being a porch pirate because you don’t know what you are stealing.

Did he steal the required $951.00 worth of goods it takes to be prosecuted?
