NYC Now has a $4.4 billion shoplifting economy. Theft is so rampant, retailers are forced to make tough choices...
Cash takes a serious look at stores starting to flee the big apple. The fall of a once great city. And one shining mall in the city is now completely vacant due in most part to shoplifting and violent crime.

Stupid should hurt....it’s a great life lesson
And soon, the stores that close will be sued like in California.
It’s pillage, not shoplifting.
Unfortunately I suspect the indoctrinated and brainwashed mush-brained NYC demo-commie voters aren’t capable of learning life lessons. After all, they could see the positive results from Giuliani’s administration, but went back to voting in the demo-commies, like dogs licking up their own vomit.
seems like just the more militant facet of the conspiracy against bricks and mortar, small business, the middle class, etc — everything that WEF and its tools like Amazon.com hate.
p
it has nothing whatsoever to do with the will of the people. you will surely realize that before too long, by experience.
(not that anyone who lived through 2020 can possibly nurture the illusion that elections are anything but bad theatre).
Giuliani turned that city around. I was there during that glorious period. The left has not only destroyed the city, they’ve done there best to destroy Giuliani. The left is driven by hate.
I find the article’s title to be offensive, and dated. Illegal immigrants are now called “newcomers”. Shouldn’t shoplifters be given the same courtesy?
I suggest calling them “100% discount shoppers” instead. Come on , Gov. Hochul. Pass some sort of law mandating that. Include hefty fines for anyone who continues to use the old term.
And if you order from Amazon, and live in the any of these high crime areas, they will steal your package before you can get to it.
Lying until there is no one left to lie to.
That was a phrase often heard when the Clinton Crime family
occupied the highest office.
Stealing until there is no one left to steal from would seem to accurately describe Biden’s Amerika.
Once the brick and mortar retail has closed down, I suspect Amazon trucks hijackings will skyrocket or maybe they will just start raiding warehouses.
I don’t think porch piracy will be a problem.
It is too labor intensive.
Goods will be stolen before they ever get to the porch.
Just the other day I was recording one of my Wild World of History readings from the “Patriot’s History of the United States” on the 1850s and what professor Stephen Paludan called “A Crisis in Law and Order” (John Brown, Brooks/Sumner caning, “bloody Kansas,” the inability of the House to elect a speaker). When respect for the law is gone, as Lincoln prophesied, it has violent ramifications.
[[The fall of a once great city. ]]
Going the way of Babylon! The only difference is that Babylon will rise again, rapidly as corrupt investors rebuild it as the trading znd business center of the world, and the corrupt evil businessmen will fl9ck there, and the pace will be so evil that actual demons will roam the site and people won’t think anything wrong with it according to some Bible scholars.
Interesting point: Sadam was in the process of trying to rebuild Babylon. He had bricks made with the likeness of king nebuchadnezar on one side, whom he believed that he was a reincarnation of. He t4ied buying the door to a false religion temple (famous one, Dianna maybe?), but the current owners wouldn’t sell it to him.
He also had money created with his image on it, and apparently was in the process of rebuilding the famous hanging gardens, one of the world’s great wonders at one point.
But at some point soon, $$ is going to go pouring into the rebuild g of Babylon and it will be built very quickly, and will be the epicenter of evil, he’ll on earth... almost literally. Life there will be even worse than life in Soddom was, and Noone will be safe from the evil there- yet people will flock there hoping to cash in 9n the ec9nomic boom
They will however mourn the loss as everything collapses in an Instant there when the lord flattens the area- the merchants will be standing afar off, and weeping for their loss.
S9me sick times ahead that is for sure

And you might just end up caught with stolen goods that you ordered from Amazon!!
Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, Amazon all viable ways to fence that stolen merchandise to the public.
Not a lawless society. A society where law is perverted to prosecute police officers doing their jobs, shopkeepers defending their livelihoods, and citizens defending their lives. Where law is perverted to reward real crimes and punish those who resist criminals. Worse than lawless. The “wild west” was “lawless” only in dime novels and Hollywood, but even the “wild west” had an ethical code. In our society being productive, male, white, or heterosexual is the only way one violates the new ethical code.
Where the law is perverted to harass political opponents, or unpopular individuals, while wife-murders die in bed at age 76.
A good report, worth watching.
All this is by design, those who were elected to represent “the people” are failing to do their jobs. So rising crime and higher prices are actually a good thing as this is the only feedback loop we have on those in positions of power. No one is stealing from the Caseys in Iowa, it’s the urban coastal cities where this is happening (aka blue cities run by democrats with supermajority support), and the only way to get rid of them is for the wealthy elite to feel the pain.
If/when the cost of rampant crime affects those with money and power, things will change quickly. The old saying “things have to get worse before they can get better” applies.
So in essence, those who refuse to enact stronger laws against shoplifting are unknowingly speeding up the process of reform. Close enough stores and inflict enough pain, eventually they will feel it.
Brick and mortar retailers closing forever is all part of the plan.
Getting what they voted for....Good and Hard!
