[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the Tenley Target staff it's been happening there -- though I don't know if it's some mass criminal ring. Everything is now locked up, including the large detergent bottles. I asked how someone would take that out and was told they just grab the stuff and run to the metro and sell it. I haven't ever seen a black market in the Tenley station, so not sure what's happening but Mayor Bowser would be wise to figure it out so we're not losing stores to Montgomery Co. It's such a pain to shop there now. [/quote]

And look at what happened to Baltimore - Target closed at the Mowdawmin site, which served a huge marginalized population.  They had huge problems with theft there.  And look what happens - little old grannies in that area of Baltimore now have to make much longer hikes to where stores are open.  Many of those people don't even own cars.  There are real consequences for this despicable, selfish behavior.  It isn't just 'corporations losing money, no one gets hurt'.  The ridiculous tolerance for this anarchy harms many people across swaths of communities in the country.  [/quote]

What do you propose?[/quote]

Prosecuting all theft hard. Or putting a lien or docking someone's paycheck/welfare benefits for 3x the cost of whatever they're caught stealing.

Stiff penalties, period.[/quote]
Does that go for people like Donald Trump and Josh Hawley, too? [/quote]
