Lately, Drug Stores are closing because shoplifters steal everything but the Father's Day cards.[/quote]
You were duped by the shoplifter non-stories. Hilarious. [/quote]
Ha ha totally!
And there’s no crime in DC! It was worse in the 80’s! Car jacking is not happening. Do not believe your eyes and ears ha ha.[/quote]
Your exclamation points don't change the fact that the variation in shoplifting statistics is basically a rounding error. [/quote]

“ theft in general is up 22 percent over last year. It is harder and harder to find a grocery or pharmacy in the District that doesn’t lock up laundry detergent, toilet paper and deodorant. A Giant in Southeast no longer even stocks certain name-brand health and beauty products that thieves target. A liquor store downtown is closing because of constant shoplifting. The H Street Walmart shuttered earlier this year. (The company said the store “hasn’t performed as well as we hoped.”)
The District ranks behind all but one state for retail theft, according to a new Forbes Advisor survey of small businesses.”
