Trending!!! This is going to get worse, once kids realize that many don’t get caught and their isn’t anything anyone can do while it’s happening.
Not true. IF these stores can afford these losses, then they can afford to put security measures in place, like locking down the store while these hoodlums go about their "business", which means they'd have to put in smash-proof glass so these feral animals can't get out - that should hold them until the police arrive.
This isn’t new. My parents had a store in rural Appalachian NC. They would be hit by a mob of what they described as gypsies who would come in and take hundreds of dollars of merchandise in less than a minute.
