Since restitution would be a fool’s dream in this case, let’s start by putting security guards that are armed to the teeth at entrances to retailers. Give the guards military grade weaponry and the finest body armor on this planet. If anyone walks out with stolen merchandise, shoot the perps without trying to damage the goods themselves. Since cameras won’t be enough, the guards should also patrol aisles and checkout lanes.
Newbie, you are a NUT. Not sure you are anything conservative.
