This location is next to a small shopping center. There's a Walmart and a ghetto Chuck E Cheese's. Well, so much for the planners hoping on inspiring gentrification...

A group of smash and grab robbers raided a Virginia eyeglass store and stole more than $20,000 of products.
This week, Fairfax County released in-store surveillance footage of four men raiding a MyEyeDr. store near Richmond Highway in Alexandria at about 6.30pm on April 19.
The suspects are all black men and are believed to be between the ages of 17 and 23.
A fifth suspect, who was the group's getaway driver, is also wanted by police. The men are believed to have fled in an older-model black Toyota Camry with tinted windows and black hubcaps.
Detectives are following up on leads and are aware of similar incidents throughout the National Capital Region,' Capt. Frederick Chambers, Commander of the Criminal Investigations Division of the Fairfax County Police Department, said in a press release issued on Thursday.
Police are having a hard time identifying the perpetrators, who were wearing masks, hoodies and hats on the day of the robbery.

There was one of these idiot looters who advertised her business on facebook to sell stolen goods. It is an entire economy. Sit around on welfare, ron stores, then sell the booty on facebook using your government supplied internet access. Muh reparations....
Hmmm. This doesn’t happen in my non diverse neck of the woods.
Eyeglass stores also carry high end non-prescription sunglasses.
The police should use cellular metadata to identify them.

So that’s where the guy from Chicago who shot up the lower Loop with at least 68 rounds and didn’t hit anyone, a week ago Saturday, went.
ICYMI, the Soros funded DA, Kim “Crimesha” Foxx declined to press any charges.
Ahh, I see!
Thanks.
When I read the sentence: “The suspects are all black men” I knew I wasn’t reading an American paper. An American paper would have told us the color of the car and the hubcaps, but nothing about the suspects.
I’m a customer of My Eye Dr.. The vast majority of glasses they have on display, have no lens in them and take a specialist to install even clear lens into, much less prescription lens. They have very few sunglasses on display and probably less in storage. Unless the hit was paid for by a local optometrist...no value to the culprits loot.
Offer drugs as a reward for anyone who identifies the perps!
Never ending reparations.
Are the hoodlums getting close to Psaki’s neighborhood? You know, the idiot who has scoffed at those who believe crime is escalating.
I was not familiar with Best Products etc... Thanks for the info.
However I do think in these times of smash & grab / zero-prosecution or repercussions combined with the technological advances since the 1980’s — this may make a comeback. To some extent, IKEA operates like that already, but I can certainly picture pharmacies and similar stores going to a more display model with the merchandise stored in the guarded and secure warehouse portion in the back.
” Either government will crack down on crime “
I think you know the answer to that......
“Eventually citizens, retailers, and insurance companies are going to demand protection from rampant crime”
They can demand all they want, and in a free-capitalist society, these problems would take care of themselves through natural selection. In USA 2022, we’ll have something called government interference that will prevent any significant progress from happening.
Remember, their plan is to actually destroy the system. don’t forget that.
“Remember, their plan is to actually destroy the system. don’t forget that.”
One of the ways to destroy the system is to overthrow the government and impose a dictatorship. The worse things become, the more people will be receptive to a dictatorship that will bring law and order. Don’t forget, progressives create the crisis and then devise the solution which always requires more control by the central government.
The guy in the bright PINK sneakers might be a clue to his identity.
You don’t see many of those in COOL TEENS.
This was the business model of the catalog showrooms like Best Products, Service Merchandise, Arden and Brendles. Popular in the 1980’s, most declared bankruptcy by the end of the 1990’s."
When I was living in Brooklyn in the 1970s-1980s, we had such stores. It was called "Consumers Distributing" (though the chain originated in Canada). They sold all sorts of items with the exception of food, beverages, and medicine. They sold things like furniture (which you had to assemble at home), jewelery, toys, appliances, etc.
They didn't have a sales floor. They may have on display a small pathetic handful of cheap items on display such as a child's bike or an inflatable chair. But all their items were stocked in the back room.
When you entered their store, they had their sales catalogs on pedestals along with pencils and order forms. You filled out the order form with your name, address, phone number, name and description of item you wanted to purchase, the item number, the page number of the catalog it was on, etc. It was irritatingly time consuming.
Then you dropped off your order form at the counter and waited a long time for a store clerk to pick up your order form, disappear into the back room and bring your item out front for purchase OR many was the time the clerk would inform you they didn't have the item in stock. But they'd order it for you and you'd pick it up in a week or two. More often than not, I didn't want to wait that long for it, so I'd decline and go to a different store minutes away where they'd have it on a shelf on the sales floor and I'd purchase it. I imagine thousands upon thousands of their customers did the very same thing.
I hated Consumers Distributing and I used to wonder how they managed to stay open for sale with such a lousy business model. They didn't. They went bankrupt in 1996.
And Fairfax County is an extension of DC.
That County is ALWAYS sending Mail In Ballots that are late.
They tried it in this last election when Glen Younkin won.
Yep. Otherwise, all prohibitions against raghead broads wearing their halloween costumes is moot.
THAT brought back some memories...
In 1991 I had that entire Atari set-up with about 250 or more games and like 10 joysticks, 7 of which were re-wired and/or re-sticked.
I guess my grandparents were rich.../s
With my money from my Checkers job at $9.15/hr (I know, right?) I had invested in a SNES and several games and a Gameboy with several games...
Maybe “I” was rich?.../s
As a parent of diehard gamers, however, maybe my investment was a detriment to my life...not /s
Perhaps at least one of your kids can become a USAF or Navy drone pilot and defend America with his/her well honed precision gamer skills
