Organized gangs.

My mother worked at a department store in the 1980s during the holidays to make extra money. Same thing happened then too - two vans would idle in front of the doors while 6-8 people would ransack the Levi's jeans displays. The only difference these days is that its all caught on social media + the thieves have an easier time reselling the stolen goods on Amazon, eBay, and Facebook Market Place.[/quote]

I also worked in a department store (Robinson's) in SoCal during the 80's, and, yes, huge thefts by organized gangs happened then too. Once they cleaned out all the Ralph Lauren polo shirts in about 5 minutes. I personally witnessed rolling racks of new merchandise rolled out the door to the parking lot where the clothes were thrown into a waiting van. My department manager tried to stop them until she had a knife pulled on her.[/quote]
