 Stores lost $121.6 billion to retail theft in 2023; projections indicate shoplifting could cost retailers over $150 billion in 2026.
Locking things up is the least they can do

 I discussed this with the store manager. He told me his store has over live 250 live video cameras. 

This is a societal problem. 
It is the decay and respect of one’s community.  Theft is undeserved & false entitlement. This has become an anthropological issue.
