Shoplifters have hit the upscale consignment store 19 times, stealing more than $56,000 in luxury bags, clothing and shoes over the past year.
PORTLAND, Ore. — It was March 2022 when Tamara Young decided to take the leap. Business was brisk at her upscale consignment store in Southwest Portland, and she wanted to expand. So, the owner of Consign Couture made the move, expanding her operation to a second location in Washington Square.
"I told them when I decided to lease this space that I felt like this was a more secure place to sell Louis Vuitton and Chanel bags," said Young

Hmmmm, if people are allowed to kill pre born babies, then they should be allowed to kill thieves, we can call it post birth abortion. Liberals shouldn't have a problem with this, afterall, an unwanted birth is being eliminated.

INVESTIGATIONS:

Warning re website. Very abusive and will take over:
I like the “cut off the hands,” remedy!
Forever known and displaying their criminal acts.
It says it’s a consignment store though. Which can mean a number of different things.
Most common and closer to the true definition of consignment: Person brings in a no longer wanted purse which shop owner agrees to sell. When someone buys it, shop owner takes 30-50%, seller gets 50-70%.
In my experience, if the item is stolen, seller gets nothing. Obviously the shop owner gets nothing and a bad reputation.
Maybe there are some places where if the item is stolen, the shop owner still has to pay the seller.
Now sometimes person brings in a no longer wanted purse, shop owner offers a price if seller accepts, shop owner resells it and they still call it consignment.
Obviously in this case if the item is stolen, the shop owner is out the money she paid for the item.
Costco has membership cards which customers buy.
You can’t enter a Costco store nor leave without showing your Costco card.
Oregon ping...Portland area again
” - please turn out the lights.”
Won’t be necessary. Rolling blackouts that stop rolling will accomplish the job very well.
That in addition to the light sources that are simply smashed by vandals.
Portland is fast becoming an economic desert, no longer deserving the designation of “municipality”.
DC is closing a Walmart as well; city policies have made it unsustainable in an area that was once on its way to recovery.
“Oregon lawmakers are considering a couple theft-related bills to help combat the issue. One bill would create the crime of retail theft in the second degree, while the other bill would formally create a statewide Task Force on Organized Retail Theft.”
A typical, moronic, Democrat solution…a task force. Plus, are they going to allow arrests, arraignments, and trials? Do they go with no bail?
Just more idiocy so voters will think they are doing something about the problem.
From my longtime observations I've deduced that the gods that liberals worship are only interested in the murder of those who are helpless.

BuT tHeY hAvE iNsUrAnCe!!1!
19 shoplifting incidents in a year??! Pikers...your average big box store in CA gets 19 incidents in a month! (Even in the “better cities”).
Which song?
“19th Nervous Breakdown” (I’m guessing)
“ A typical, moronic, Democrat solution…a task force.”
Bane of an engineers existence…more excuses to have an unending series of meetings to plan meetings about meeting planning

Was just in Downtown Portland for lunch, and it was AMAZING how many businesses had closed up. We went into Pioneer Place mall, and the Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and some other high end places that I don’t know anything about had velvet ropes around the entrance/exit, and security. It was like you had to be approved to enter, and maybe checked to leave.
I didn’t go into any as that’s not my scene, so we got our milk tea, and departed the area. LOTS of homeless down there, lots of tents on the sidewalks, etc.
