If I was a business owner there, I would hire former military guys to guard my store and post a very large sign that said ,‘ this store is protected by former armed military and have been given instructions to shoot on sight anyone looking to make trouble. Enter at your own risk. have a nice day.

That’s just racist- they should hold the door open for the crooks- not stop them! /s

...an uptick in shoplifting.

Yeah..."uptick"...minimalization at it's finest.

““We are hiring more and more security. We hired a lot of retired cops,”

What for? So that they too will be ordered to stand down and do nothing but watch the store being robbed?

[Larry Lucido]

What could go wrong?

[Laslo Fripp]

You are quick, and talented.

[MDLION]

Cats own businesses? I kid. I kid.

“That’s a Shame.”

I love this story: Al Sharpton of all people was complaining about the store thefts and his fellow black leftist attacked him stopping short of calling him RAYSIST!

“John Catsimatidis, owner of the Gristedes/D’Agostino’s chain,”

Trivia => Name a movie which mentions D’Agostino’s.

NYPD data shows citywide retail theft complaints that include petit larcenies, grand larcenies, and robberies [...]

I believe that the correct term is petty larceny (etymologically related to the French word "petite," meaning "small").

Reverend Al should remind them, “Thou shalt not steal!”
But quoting the 10 Commandments is not allowed.

[JennysCool]

Petit is also correct. "Petit larceny" is a legal term.

[Eleutheria5]

Nah. Just follow them ‘til you find them alone, and then put on masks and beat the living sh!t out of them. Take back the stuff if possible, and skeedaddle. Was it the store security? Who can say? They were wearing masks.

To all the stupid, useful idiot democrat taliban party voters: Elections have consequences.

There has been an outcry for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to do something. On Wednesday, he addressed the issue with the Association for a Better New York, saying he’s working with his newly formed small business alliance to brainstorm solutions regarding repeat offenders.

Solution.. Arrest , Incarcerate... DUH!

If you have to have a brainstorming session to figure that out..Brother.

A few shoplifters’ heads on pikes outside the stores would get the point across real quick.

When the mafia ran New York we never had these problems. Stuff a couple of melanzane in a dumpster, problem solved. (Don't use google translate for the meaning of melanzane.)
