My prediction: It’s going to be a Korean businessman.
At some point someone is going to “take one for the team” and absolutely mutilate one of these criminals in front of a camera as a warning that the people have limits. I assure you, a single viral video of one of these people being decapitated would stop this behavior instantly
My prediction: It’s going to be a Korean businessman.
I think it would spawn more such behaviou, actually, with the mobs being armed. A dozen such security camera videos might well make a severe dent in the situation.
If I were my former self...
I’d put an auto lock on the front doors, like jewelry stores have.
Three options...
One, lock them between the two doors, call the police, share the video.
Two, lock them in the store until police show up, share the video
Three, tell them the only way out is through the back and into the alley. Of course there might be paid plain clothes “security”, paid collectively by the stores to keep the alley safe. They may or may not have tire irons, clubs, who knows what, based on the threat. Anyway the thief may or may not leave the alley with multiple broken bones in one or both hands, but you they won’t leave the alley with stolen items. Oh, the video cameras sometimes don’t work in the store and alley.
...but that would be the old me.=o)
Glad I’m not him anymore
