i work at a retail store in los angeles and we have an endless stream of shoplifters come in with their own bags, fill them up with merch, and walk out all day long. probably 100 to 200 per day. we are not allowed to try to stop them at all, we can only observe and report them. this is one of the key reasons for rampant inflation. insurance only covers so much, so prices are always getting marked up.
