Walmart has started securing high-priced steaks inside locked metal cages amid rising crime rates across the U.S., a new viral video has revealed.
Michael Fromhold, from Florida, was stunned when he noticed that the meat at his local Walmart had been locked up in what appears to be a rather dramatic attempt to prevent people from stealing it.
Michael took a video of it and shared it to TikTok where it quickly went viral - gaining more than four million views in a matter of days - and the clip lead some viewers to lament the fact that such measures have become necessary.
The video, which showed the Angus beef wrapped in chains with an electronic security tag, comes amid growing concern about the rising crime rates across the country - something that Michael quickly lamented in his post.
'You gotta be kidding me,' Michael began in the video, as he held up the protected meat. 'Walmart now has the steak locked up. Holy s**t it's come to this. This is getting bad.'

You would think the Amish would raise their own butchering cattle.
Something made me laugh at that. They will just smash and grab and they have been known to shove them down their pants.
A few years ago a woman got caught stealing a frypan and had stuck it down the back of her pants.
What good does that wire wrap do?

Another slammed all the 'low lives' that are 'out there robbing the store.'
'Sorry to say, it'll only get worse as inflammation continues to rise and food shortages start to impact us,' read a third comment.
Yep. As if, 'inflammation' were our ONLY problem these day, LOL! Spoken like a True Walmart Shopper. ;)
Let's Go, Brandon!
‘How are we supposed to get that thing off?’ asked a different TikTok user. ‘They only have two employees in the whole store and we have to check out ourselves.’’
I very seldom go to Walmart but did last week. The self-check out lane was backed up, there were 3 cashier lanes opened, and a group of walmart employees visiting and talking about something other than business, probably like “Where’d you get those eye lashes put on?”
Next will be slaughtering of cattle in the fields.
“What good does that wire wrap do?”
It’s CHAINED to the shelf and you have to get someone to unlock it for you if you want to buy it.
The joke: A lady was standing at the check out lane, when a frozen ham dropped on the floor from under her skirt. And the lady yelled “Who threw that ham at me?”
My steer, ‘Weber,’ goes ‘to the spa’ in March. :)
Price hikes and theft …. A never ending cycle
meatless diet 5 weeks now. Lost 5 lbs, my partner lost 10 so far, and we’ve been very well fed.
Biden’s America. Ain’t it great??
Light bulbs for cars must be a hot theft item.
I went to WM to get a replacement headlamp bulb for my pickup and they are locked in a case.
You have to get an employee to get it for you and take it to check out.
HaHaHa/LOL/ROTFL!
Stolen Elections Have Consequences!
I buy local. Prices have not gone up as much as grocery chains.
........ Well ..... Just Damn .... I get my Ribeyes for $6.99 a pound. You can buy as many as you want .... At Stater Bros. Markets ...
How about we just flog the thieves in the public square? How’s that sound?
I can get chicken livers for $1.79 a lb. You are missing out hoe. Grass-fed.
A comment on article says so that peopl can’t change price sticker. That makes sense.
