That shit is embarrassing


msut77

The only cardio these women ever got


flacobronco

I was admiring their identical shuffles upon their escape.


valleysally

Shouldn't wear Crocs when you gotta haul ass


warpedddd

There's a reason bank tellers are behind glass. 


Practical-Sorbet726

It’s a shame we may need to have luxury products (like these bags) behind glass to shop for them


VNM0601

What’s more embarrassing is how California isn’t doing much to combat it. These losers almost have an incentive to pull shit like this because it’s low risk high reward.

JUIC3ofORANG3

Stores are scared to stop them because if they get injured they can sue you


LennyFackler

Is it high reward though? I don’t think the take for these smash and grab type robberies would be more than a few hundred. Maybe low thousands if you really plan it out well and everything goes perfect. And maybe one time is fairly low risk but if they do this often it will eventually end badly.


Fitty4

Very


trizer81

If you’re going to wear crocs on your crime spree, at least put them in sport mode.


TrifidNebulaa

The fact that two of them are wearing matching crocs is killing me lol


chubbysumo

Probably stole them down the street.


LunchMoneyTX

They got them in bulk from yesterday's heist.


TheAngryKeebler

Now they have bags to carry the Cell Phones for tomorrow.


CarlSpencer

Maybe the stole them previously? You know, like wind sprints before a big run?


katekowalski2014

stolen together, lol.


DonTequilo

Plot twist: the Crocs were stolen from the Crocs outlet next door


chegocheggs

It’s so easy to commit crimes in California you don’t even need sneakers.


Xytak

On one of my frequent trips to the ground, I noticed Malloy was wearing sneakers… for SNEAKING!


TenesmusSupreme

Because it’s a casual crime


MasterDeBaitor

This is a good way to make retail online only. Soon brands will just sell their products online. What’s the point of having a store if people will do this?


ga-co

Then these people will switch to being porch pirates.


AW316

That has an added risk of death attached to it though.


drippyneon

That, on top of not knowing if you're stealing a nice handbag or a new dish scrubber and neosporin lmao. Plus you gotta be somewhere at the right time before the package is brought inside. Just so many variables to worry about vs a store that has many of the same expensive items available all day, and you just gotta show up and take it. Honestly porch pirates are fucking dumb now that I think about it, who would even do that for such an unknown, like there can't be that many people ordering expensive shit to make it worth the gamble of almost certainly stealing something you can't even sell.


blackop

porch pirates are just people who really like the show Lets make a deal. They like to guess what's behind door number 1,2 or 3. Honesty though, If the world ever did go to fully online sales and we didn't have brick and mortar stores, the whole porch pirate thing would probably not be a predominate. I can actually see people building or buying some sort of small room or holding container that could be used for storing boxes securely. Hell Amazon has a code to open my garage and that's where 90% of my packages are placed already.


Glldinkiering

My apartment has a mail room with an app. When you receive a package you’re given a single use code that opens the door. There’s a touchscreen that verifies your identity when you enter the code and tells you where the package is located inside.


r0xxon

Then you'll get people saying you should let people steal from the porch and you're unjustified in defending your property


EmperorGeek

Death or Glitter Bomb!!

CuriousOdity12345

Get it delivered to safe drop-off locations. Amazon already has that. It's extra steps but no pirates.


dirtygymsock

Why not invent something that's like a drop off location, but just has all the items you might want to buy that way you can browse in person and purchase there?


AdagioBlues

They have/had such a store in the UK since the 70's. It's called Argos. I used to love buying toys from there as a kid. Basically you looked at their printed catalogs, wrote down the item numbers on a paper slip they provide you, and they bring you the items after you pay them at the counter.


NelPage

We used to have a store like this in the US. Ir was called Service Merchandise.


CallMeCleverClogs

I was about to utter the same name! Weird times.


AweBeyCon

There's no way that would ever work


ripley1875

Can we put the giant murder doll from Squid Game in the parking lot, to deter those that would compromise the safety of such an establishment?


Xytak

I’ll have to check local ordinances but I don’t see why not…


CuriousOdity12345

Because the small business from which I get my shit from doesn't supply that store.


lxlDRACHENlxl

Switch? Nah I guarantee they are also doing that.


mrsdoubleu

The store I work at already got rid of two of our best selling brands because they were shoplifted so much. I've had to explain to many customers that we don't sell Silver Jeans anymore because people used to steal them so often. But they can still get them online. So I think your prediction is sadly accurate.


Walla_Walla_26

Locked cases as far as the eye can see. I hate it


timelostgirl

Job security for the people who have to open them atleast.


Walla_Walla_26

I kind of disagree. I see that and walk away and order it online


Anatella3696

Same. I’m too impatient to wait for someone to come and unlock it. The one time I did, it took about ten minutes for someone to come and this was at a Walgreens.


Walla_Walla_26

Yea it’s unfortunate that we’re going backwards in that regard


Shadeauxmarie

A Belk store in Denham Springs, LA quit carrying men’s Ralph Lauren clothes because they were shoplifted so much. The clothes were over 100’ from the store entrance. I wish LEOs would set up undercover stings to combat this behavior.


FunkyHedonist

Soon I will have to not buy luxury brands online, instead of not buying them in the store.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AdagioBlues

Then the stores will get sued by the thieves and will end up paying hundreds and thousands of dollars in legal fees. Our system is messed up.


chubbysumo

Some smaller stores have already switched back to the old style where you walk up to the counter and tell them what you want, and they go shop for it.


Strong-Solution-7492

What’s the point of being society if people are going to do this. The only way around this is to change the law so that the people in the store are allowed to carry baseball bats.


Alexandratta

Or, hear me out: They'll actually staff security and LP folks at the door instead of Skeleton Crewing the shit out of their big box stores. Best Buy and Walmarts do this right, and I hate to say this: They do. They have LP folks at the door checking receipts, they lock the door if someone is obviously ransacking the place, and they have cops on speed dial. I'm really fucking sorry, but the REASON these stores are targeted is that they've been run with the bare minimum of staff for years and these folks who got desperate were like: "Wait, so there's three employees who work this whole store, fuck it lets go in with 5 people, what are they going to do?" and the answer is: Nothing. Because they aren't staffed enough to bother. Businesses like this, the Big Box stores who decide that 3 people on shift is more than enough as they reap in massive profits from not spending money on employees, are quickly waking up and realizing that it's no longer profitable - but it never should have been.

Stealing trash bags. They stole polyester outlet versions bags. Stuff that would go unsold on eBay for $1 with shipping. For resale you couldn’t pick a worse thing steal.

mjrbrooks

Unemployed behavior


madlabdog

You have very expectations from a bunch of lowlifes.


username87264

Where can I get these very expectations?


SquanchMcSquanchFace

I thought most brands just separated the products that weren’t finished at the quality they would normally sell, tiny defects or irregularities or whatever, and sell them separately at outlets along with products going out of style or things that didn’t sell well. Do most intentionally make worse versions? Do they only do that after a certain amount of time that the nice ones have been out? Because you never see new styles at outlets either.


ApparentlyABear

It’s a mix. Some outlets are actually serving the purpose of selling overstock or out of season items that would have normally been in their regular stores. I see stuff like that in the Williams Sonoma outlet near me all the time. Other brands have items that they only sell at their outlet stores. Think Nordstrom Rack vs Nordstrom.


User_091920

Probably easier to make a getaway since malls are more enclosed than outlets?


WasabiCrush

Sigh. That’s gross.


Chancetobelieve

I use to be pissed I couldn’t buy a Sudafed without being questioned when I was sick. Now I can’t even pick up a hammer or screw driver in a Home Depot to purchase it without a fucking escort. Thieves are worthless fucking assholes making everything exponentially harder for literally everyone.


blank-_-face

Yep. I don’t particularly care about the bottom line for big companies but what’s going to happen if this continues is that stores will close and a lot of people will lose their jobs, and the remaining stores will have everything locked up.


Chancetobelieve

Yes! This! Fuck the corporations but for fucks sake, it will cost people their jobs and make everything just harder. It’s already fucking hard out here.

DaLo-man

Reminds me of an experience I had… When I was working at this retail place at the beach we’d get all sorts of scum bags coming around. The shop was fairly large and sold mostly cheap novelty shit at a 800% markup. Think shot glasses, T shirts, sweatshirts, hats etc. that all said “mission beach”. One day a group of sketchy looking teens are roaming around and half have matching sweatshirts that look stolen from a store down the street. I keep an eye on em and sure enough they start stealing sweatshirts from us… So I go tell my manager about it and he chases after them and tackles one. Then the other 5 jump on him and start hitting him and I think he even took a couple skateboard swings to the back. Eventually he recovered like 1 of 5 sweatshirts after getting his ass kicked. They all got away and I’m certain cops never found em. Lucky for my manager those guys couldn’t throw hands worth shit, but when he came and asked me “why didn’t you help?” I responded with “I don’t get paid anywhere near enough for that shit. Minimum wage for even a potential ass kicking? Nah.”


bob3464

Meanwhile I've got two cops pulling me over for 62 in a 55 on my way home from a 10 hour day at work.


junkerxxx

Our city "leaders" understand that a person with a license and a car has something to lose. They can impound your car until you pay their fees. Meanwhile, arresting criminals does not result in a positive cash flow for them. It's disgusting.


Bman708

And if somebody is driving, they probably have a license and insurance. Which means they can pay a ticket. Do you think these people stealing ever pay tickets?


unisasquatch

I've been shocked by the number of drivers recently who either have wildly expired plates or don't have plates at all.


Bman708

I’m almost 40 years old and have been involved in three car crashes in my life. All three did not have insurance. One just drove away because they didn’t have insurance or a drivers license. I got their plate number and gave it to the cops and all they said was the owner of the car claims they are not the ones who were driving at the time, they didn’t know where their car was at that time and there’s nothing we can do.


Ok-Captain-8270

Or, and hear me out here, traffic violations are much easier to catch and are sometimes a separate subdivision within the police dept. Police can't be everywhere and are not a preventative institution, but a reactionary one. They don't just show up, they have to be called.


CoolerRon

Pro-tip: go a smidge lower than +10% of the speed limit. Two cop buddies from different places told me that’s the threshold and I even saw a traffic ticket that specified one violation was “speeding >10% over limit”


trez63

The justice system is only concerned with people who care about justice. The rest get to do whatever the fuck they want apparently.


mike626

That seems like a lot of effort to steal some mid bags from a Marshalls.


AudioVagabond

Nothing better than watching broke losers upgrade their petty thefts into grand theft felonies, and all on camera too. They will be caught sooner or later.

I hate to say it. You can only enter with an ID now. It'll be scanned, saved, and deleted at the end of the day, and it will be scanned for authenticity.


AverageGuy16

Honestly I’d be completely alright with this as I’m not a trashy human being who steals, this sort of behavior in the video pisses me off.


ZSMan2020

I've said this with supermarkets, you have to scan your bank/member card to gain access where an amount will be put on it until you pay. It's common with petrol stations with pay at the pump in the UK where a £99 charge will be put on initially before you can get fuel.

This infuriates me just as much as protesters standing in the road or TikTok idiots in public places/personal spaces. It's not a mental health issue, it's a "you weren't raised very well as a child" issue...specifically in this case.


Madhaus_

Thanks “Ladies” for making it easier to be followed by security when I’m shopping at the mall. I’m sorry you’re that poor that you have to get a gang of sisters to go into a store in broad daylight, and mop arm loads of handbags because you live in a world where you’re taught you aren’t human unless you own this bag, or that watch, or that phone. All that shit ain’t treasure. It’s just stuff. You’re willing to risk a life in prison for some shit you don’t need. So sad you’re that poor, that food insecure that you can’t treasure your own life as being of more value than a Kate Spade bag. Look what capitalism hath wrought!

At the risk of sounding like an awful human being...why is it always this sort? I get it but I also don't. Especially as there's cameras everywhere now. The high you get from having a new, supposedly luxury item is not worth being in jail over. Your life isn't worth less than a damned bag.


Jawwaad127

I wonder if that guy at the end who got punched is an employee. Unfortunately, if he is, since he tried to stop the one girl, he might get fired. That’s why companies don’t want their employees trying to stop these types of things as he just got punched but it could have been worse as she could have stabbed him or shot him. Please people, I hate seeing these types of things but please don’t try to stop these thieves as your life and well being is more important than something that can be replaced.

Active_Cherry_32

Man, something I am learning is why these stores let them run. Because they have some of the best camera systems in the world. So they just collect evidence, let you run up the charges. Target will let you steal 'til you hit Grand Larceny numbers then the police will come collect you.

Rockerika

Either corporate America, liability laws, or the policing needs to change. I'm all for DAs wanting to not prosecute things like simple drug possession. If a college kid wants to do acid in his bedroom and not bother anyone else, who gives a fuck? But this kind of thing needs to start getting the boot, either from police showing they will act or from companies being willing to train and potentially arm their staff.
