[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazon and Ebay are culpable in fuelling this type of crime. If they couldn’t resell these goods, they wouldn’t commit the crime.

“This wave of rip-offs is not being driven by individual shoplifters, but by large, organized theft operations that sell stolen goods online. Retailers and experts say the problem spiked during the pandemic, when stores cut back on staff. Venues like Amazon and eBay give thieves a convenient way to resell stolen  goods. Last year the Prosecutors Alliance of California estimated that $500 billion worth of stolen or counterfeit goods are sold every year through online marketplaces. Some operations recruit drug addicts as "boosters," instructing them what to steal. "This is not petty theft," said Walgreens CFO James Kehoe. "These are gangs that actually go in and empty our stores of beauty products."
