Retail theft

[LaDolceLaria]

When I saw a new Louis Vuitton store open in my area, in an upscale shopping plaza, I was happy to see it. But I will admit a part of me wondered how soon it would be hit by retail theft mobs. There is an armed guard always standing out front, which definitely feels so out of place in our suburban area. But, I just read in the news that a bunch of people drove their car through the storefront and it is currently boarded up.

Apparently, the cops showed up very quickly and thwarted the robbery in progress, but they still got away. A couple of years ago, just across the street, the Nordstrom was hit by a theiving mob running amok. Before that a similar incident at the nearby Apple store, while people just looked on in shock.

I don't know how it is where many of you live, but here in California there are just no consequences. I learned that this particular city where the attempted robbery happened, did apply on time for funds to help thwart retail crime and the state denied the city. I read that Oakland, which has really become the Wild West, didn't even bother to apply. The news reported that Oakland missed the deadline to apply, but my friend in the know said that was not true. They just simply did not bother.

I usually come to this forum as a pleasant diversion, but right now I have to share that I'm just so tired of watching our society spiral down the drain. Something has got to give.

This happened to the store I go to. It’s located near the entrance in the mall but has doors and they drove through the doors to the store. They put barrier in front of the mall but I think they broke in again. They now have a cop and huge German Shepard standing at the door. The other store I go to was burglarized during open hours while there were customers there. I can’t even imagine and I would be so scared. Thankfully nobody was hurt…

Why are there no consequences?
What is going on with the world today with all the vandalism and break ins?
