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.

Because of the shortage of POC criminals, homeless tweakers have had to fill in as replacements, to justify Democrat wealth redistribution.
There is hope that Portland will soon rival SF as a 3rd World pest hole.
That’s because you still listen/read/watch the media. I only watch these days if I’m desperate for a laugh.
Within 5 years, the do-not-prosecute policies will be extended from shoplifting to unarmed burglary. And if you pull a gun on the burglar, you will be prosecuted.
“...knowing there is little officials can do to prosecute them.”
...knowing there is nothing officials will do to prosecute them.
That’s the way it should have been written.
It is time for these stores to close up shop and move to friendlier states!!!
Probably not.
Anyone know which pharmacies have the same policy?
I want to “pick up “ some Ivermectin tablets.
Mostly I couldn’t care less, since these woke corporations are only getting what they asked for. But then , I don’t want to shop there either because I don’t want to pay to make up for the stuff that got ripped off. Back to the mom and pop, Ace Hardware, I guess.
Asking for a friend: Do you get a warranty if you steal something?
= $$$
What if the burglar has a knife in his hand? And makes a furtive motion towards you? The knife would be right next to him if the burglar was shot.
Self defense?
They do seem to, dont they? Im disabled and drag my bones to work everyday, sometimes to 2 jobs. Wife is the same, we make sure we do whats right, but anymore whats right is a losers game. I know life isnt fair, but I wish it were “not fair” in our favor once in a while.
White meth addicts committing crimes people of color refuse to do? LOL! The world is truly upside-down.
The warranty is great. If your product fails just come back and take another one.
And if you need to get rid of the first one (or any other junk) just drop it in the parking lot.
:)
Can I pull the first lanyard?
Why the F is that?
That kind of stupidity translates into "First kill all the lawyers"
