Apparently it’s a very popular item to steal and sell on the black market.

People who steal baby formula have more money for drugs.

For some strange reason baby formula is extremely attractive to thieves who resell it at flea markets, etc.

I am guessing because people have better uses for their ebt cards, like casinos and strip clubs.

At Toys R Us (RIP) and other stores in areas there seems to have organized groups . As employees will not obstruct the thief they could race out the door with shopping carts of formula easily resell at bodegas etc.

Powder formula retail high and specially formulated even higher cost.

In Da Hood, you can re-sell baby formula very easily for cash.

Another big one is TIDE detergent —don’t ask my why.

In the case of Tide, the problem is so severe that some drug dealers have a price in US Dollars, and another one in Tide detergent.

I have to admit that sounds utterly bizarre and made-up, but there it is.

There is a third one I used to know —it could be razors— but I have forgotten that third one.

It’s Ghetto money.

No locked cabinet ever fed a starvin’ baby.

They put it behind a wall to deter scofflaws

I saw that happen nearly 20 years ago when my son was little. Not everywhere, but just in certain neighborhoods. It was expensive and I assumed was a prime target of shoplifters.

They used to lockup model glue and various paints.

When going in to purchase such, I would ask the clerk where they kept their abusable inhalants?

They would give me a funny look.

*Model paints. You got any? Come show me where.

They would take me there and I would then point to the sign on the locked case: Abusable Inhalants.
