Two men brazenly walked out of an Oregon Lowe's store pushing a shopping cart filled with electrical wire before loading it into a waiting getaway car as helpless store workers looked on in the latest incident of 'legalized stealing' in Democratic states.
The pair picked products like spools of wire valued at $2,000 - presumably to strip it for the valuable copper inside - from a Lowe's in Keizer, a suburb of Salem, on August 25.
Keizer Police confirmed to DailyMail.com that they were investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made and the men have not been publicly identified
Once you've stolen from Lowe's once and know they can't stop you, there's no real consequence,' Keizer Police Lieutenant Andrew Copeland told Fox News, noting employees at many chain stores aren't allowed to stop shoplifters.
'Second thing is, these people know they can't go to jail.'
The video is the latest example of shoplifters simply walking out of stores with armfuls of goods, knowing there is little officials can do to prosecute them, after a string of similar incidents in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

And retarded liberals (I know, repetitive) wonder how they get “deserts” with no food stores, etc.
What is really important..... were these shoplifters masked and vaccinated? Now that can get them in some real trouble.
They likely figure that 500 foot roll of #12 Romex (in the picture) is a bit large to stuff into one’s pockets.
But it is partially their fault for not upgrading their security systems in response to the Soros gang taking over ‘justice’ in that part of the country. In this case it would have been fun to watch them deal with a shopping cart with wheel locks, or secondary doors that slam shut, given these twerps.
To hell with Ft Sumter.
When’s fort DC?
They’re stealing copper so they can turn it in to a metal recycling center...and likely then go out and buy drugs with it.
Several years ago, some copper thieves actually stole FOUR MILES of copper wire from INSIDE the concrete track supports of the newly-constructed Seattle light rail system. They climbed inside the supports through access hatches during the night over several months. It was likely for the same reason: drug money.

When the great seige of DC went on after the storming of the DC Bastille, I was thinking.
WTF would they have done if a guy got dressed up as a construction guy, had a D6 unloaded on a street up there and simply used it to destroy them road barriers.
I’d shoot these maggots on sight! I’d have no problem blowing their brains out!
I have a Filipino bud in my circle who told me just recently he was at the train station at Hollywood and Western and 2 BLM types had a huge stash of clothes with tags, and they removing them right beside him. He stayed away a distance bec. he didnt want to be an accessory due to the cameras but connecting the dots, the only 2 apparel stores outside the station are Ross and Marshalls.
“If you do a search for this story, you’ll find that the Daily Mail, conservative sites, and one very local newspaper is reporting this.”
I just had argument with an idiot Freeper stating that DM is a lefty site. Had to ‘educate’ this genius that if he had a long memory like I do (roll the FR archives) , the ONLY TWO MEDIA ON SITE who were reporting the Iraq War 2003-2007 FACTUALLY were the DM and Telegraph...and they’re not even American.
I need a good chest freezer too. Which I could fill with new tools and plumbing fixtures before I wheel it out. :)
I’m in northern Colorado. The employees might not chase me out of the store but I’m pretty sure the local cops would chase me on my way home.
How Lowe can these thieves get?
If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
no nearly, we are out.
We need to do the same at pharmacies for Ivermectin.
I wonder if a few blokes “stole”the copper roll from him, would there be any problem? Asking for a friend you know.
