Shocking videos have laid bare America’s $100billion-per-year shoplifting crisis with brazen thieves strolling out of stores including Home Depot and Ross Dress for Less.
Surveillance footage shows a gang of crooks wearing masks wheeling shopping carts full of valuable goods out of a Home Depot store in New York.
Another clip showed shoplifters loading up duffel bags and backpacks with perfumes and colognes from a Ross store in Colorado.

But, but...we need to defund the police.
What I meant to say...”Good!”.
Democrat’s America
This is exactly what they want - a lawless country filled with bankrupted stores and fearful people who will be prosecuted for fighting back
The good news is the work boots section of both stores was left unmolested.
It’s the new form of share-the-wealth, and equity-sharing, and reparations.
Most of those areas voted for what they’re getting. Now that they’re getting, a lot of them will get...
the hell out.
What will be left behind will be a lot worse than what was before.
How can business continual lose money to lawlessness and stay in business?
1 month, 1 year, or 5 years? this is crazy.
It would be entertaining to see crooks try to pull this off in our county. They would literally get ‘nailed’ before they made it halfway to the parking lot.
Crime is out of control because Democrats want it out of control. In California someone can steal up to $900 before it becomes a felony. In other states where no bail release is practice criminals are often on the street before the cops finish the report and later DAs feel over worked and drop charges.
So there is no mystery why it is happening.
The only mystery is why big businesses don’t use their power to influence the politicians. The only thing they do is raise prices and/or close stores.
Prediction - this can not go on forever. I don’t know what is going to change but change is coming.
They’re insured. /s
Why wouldn’t they? If laws are not enforced and they have nothing to lose? I’m beginning to think I must be the idiot
Make it a capital crime with instant eye-witness-driven arrest, trial and penalty imposition.
They are not costing retailers $100 Billion a year. They are costing customers who pay for their goods $100 Billion a year. Add it to Bidenflation.
Bribing politicians is expensive these days—just cheaper to close stores.
Good idea.
The libs will usually say businesses shouldn't object because they are insured.
Honest question: what is the status of insurance regulation around the country on "redlining?" The natural market response to massive shoplifting would be for insurance rates in the afflicted jurisdictions to be driven through the roof. Retailers operating in these areas would be at a potentialy serious competitive disadvantage vs. retailers in still law-abiding places, at least in upscale market segments where merchandise is pricey enough that people will location shop.
Have the dems in states like NY and CA prohibited "redlining" and forced insurers to spread the cost across all localities?
As soon as the unionized whites have been forced out, the police departments will be generously funded again.
Plus employees are told they will be fired if they approach or attempt to interfere in any way with the thieves. Some large chains are firing employees if they even call the police to report a theft in progress. Those of us who still pay for everything we take are looking like rubes.
And I can see why.
HAHAHAHA!!!!
