Is there anything in a Louis Vuitton store that is less than $950? Apparently they stole over $100k in merchandise. That will get prosecuted and it's a lie to say otherwise.
Oh good lord. Yeah, bro. Nothing is more anathema to my worldview than personal accountability. I don’t think there should be any personal accountability. Freedumb!!!!!!
Yeah, JFC.
Seriously, though. If this goes nationwide retail is screwed.
COVID masks certainly give these criminals cover and nobody wants to be accused of profiling, even though 20-plus teens in a jewelry store is pretty freaking suspicious.
Not sure what the answer is.

I was part of this group of teenagers.
Question for the board: Do you think they keep track of the serial numbers on watches, or are they just a production thing?
I agree. Masks and the ability to be able to hide your identity may have something to do with this.
Can these places just use "interns", like Kyle Rittenhouse to prevent these problems? What could go wrong?
Well something very similar just happened in Chicago at a Louis Vuitton store in the Miracle Mile area.
Not just you. IMO There’s sort of a General undercurrent here of “well what do you expect when some of us can afford to buy $200 shirts and others can’t? It won’t stop until everyone gets $200 shirts or no one gets them and then it’s fair. That’s what my philosophy professor said and it’s true.”
SMFH.
For the record I own zero $200 shirts. 😉
Not what I said, but ok.
I was making the point that you can believe that wealth inequality is a problem and will lead to worse if not addressed, and at the same time believe that this BS criminal activity shouldn’t be tolerated.
Personally, I’d put these people in jail for 5-10 years for this. But I’d also put white collar criminals and hacker/scammers in for the same time, or longer.
I ran a bunch of Footlockers in the Bay Area during the early 2000’s. Craziest thing I had ever seen was an 8 foot by 8 foot hole cut in the metal gate that comes down to block the entrance to the store when it’s closed. It was at the Eastmont Mall in Oakland. Took all the Jordan’s and the safe that had a whopping $200 in petty cash. There was no way a mall security guard couldn’t have been in on it with the time that would have taken.
And Walnut Creek is about as upscale as you can get in the Bay Area. Southland mall, not so much. But more times than not, it was people who didn’t NEED to steal that did.

Lol…You forgot to cry about ciggy’s “thinly veiled racism” because he posted a news article about criminals doing criminal shit.
“Increased retail security” is the solution to this? Not “people need to stop being piece of shit thieves”? God grief. And yeah as of right now it’s limited to SF. Where else other than riot riddled cities are we seeing flash mob theft raids?
Exactly. Totally the fault of Carnegie and the Vanderbilts. I think I heard them chanting something about the Bessemer Process, as well.
The electric anti theft alarm devices should serve as dye packs and completely ruin anything it’s attached to once it’s stolen. It should also spray smelly liquid shit that doesn’t come off on whoever’s holding it as well.
Guilty as charged. Look, I don't generally like to spend so much money on clothing, but the patterns were just so complicated on these shirts.
How is blaming a loosening of criminal prosecution not a major factor in these cases? Who are you claiming is stupid? If you can't connect the dots than it isn't me that is stupid. People will always push the envelope and the left is letting criminals do it everyday.
Which begs the question….what do security guards actually do?
