Comment on Chocolate kept in anti-theft boxes as retailers warn it's being stolen to order
scholar@lemmy.world 2 days agoYou would watch criminal gangs strip your local shop of high value items to resell for profit, and then offer to pay for it? We’re not talking about someone in need stealing essentials here.

You bring up a good point. No, I wouldn’t. I phrased it poorly. Imagine I’m having empathy for those in need or redirecting dumb ass kids doing dumb ass kid things.
But honestly criminal gangs aren’t generally doing penny ante local shop bullshit. They’ll shake them down, but it’s just not worth it to steal from local shops when big retailers offer more goods in one place. Unless it’s a boutique shop, and I’ll be honest, I don’t go to those.
