*Another* #CadburysCremeEgg #thief nicked in #EastAnglia and sent to #jail
Even a group of people recovering from 3 day #drugs binge and now ravenously hungry are *not* going to be able to eat those by themselves - there is clearly a significant underground market for these, and its not unlikely to be the very same small retail shops who are moaning about #crime yet aren't fussy about buying stolen stock to resell (the fact that the small businesses are preying on one another is something that isn't being mentioned in debates about #shoplifting in the UK)

In reality, he was living off of his victims. He #stole purses, broke into cars, #robbed people that were coming out of the subway, and did a lot of #shoplifting. He was like a human parasite, which was ironic considering what was going through his body this very moment.

Armed robbery to secure food for yourself is self-defense and self preservation.
Those who are truly immoral are those who would tackle you to the ground, shoot/taze/beat you, imprison and torture you for peacefully taking food from a store.
And it's perfectly morally acceptable to use a gun to protect yourself from those people who exist at all the food stockpiles

How ‘shoplifting entrepreneurs’ are fuelling the UK’s shoplifting problem.
Shoplifting offences recorded by police in England and Wales were up 13% in the year to June 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The ONS said there have been “sharp rises” in shop theft since the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s a similar story in Scotland, statistics for the year ending September 2025 showed a 15% increase.

There are similar cases in several states, including a very large store-to-Facebook-Marketplace ring based in New York.

Tacloban chocolate shop turns shoplifting scare into guessing game

"if you see someone shoplifting food no you didn't"
yes. BUT ALSO
if you see someone shoplifting PERIOD no. you. fucking. didn't.
you don't know why they're shoplifting. even if it's a fancy thing you might consider a non-necessity, have you considered that they may be trying to sell it afterwards to pay for medical bills, or rent, or other stuff that can't easily be five finger discounted? we're all just trying to survive. don't make it harder for others. why bother defending some corpo that doesn't give a fraction of a shit whether any of us live or die?

Here's a possiblely odd Q.:
Is the epidemic of organised shop-lifting a sign of endemic criminality or the sign that the UK has stifled avenues for (shall we call them) 'street entrepreneurs'?
Given many organised shop-lifting gangs now seem to be using platforms like Vinted to fence their goods, I wonder if this is just business carried on by (illegal) means?
Of course, this is not to sanction criminality, but to wonder about the motivations(s).

There is 0 gain for either the #Police or the #retail outlets to lie about or exaggerate this phenomenon. I can well believe it happens as there has been a whole generation brought up to believe "there is no such thing as society", as well as many middle class people who are still bitter and angry (especially those who enjoyed #partydrugs in the 80s to 00s and have been forced to quit them due to more effective enforcement (and they can't behave badly on the roads either due to #CCTV ) - risky actions like #shoplifting can be another way of getting a dopamine hit)

#EREWHON #shoplifting #ClassWar
"To my fellow thieves, know that the EREWHON in Silver Lake is pretty sketchy. While it’s possible to get a nice haul by oneself, it’s much better to go in a group, in which case potentially thousands of dollars worth of fancy swag can be obtained. In my case, I wanted to obtain several of the absurd items I’d read about on the internet, such as the infamous Sea Moss Gummies, which cost around $40 after tax. To make sure I had some protein, I nabbed a mason-jar full of candied maple pecans for about $15 after tax. This gas-station type snack would have cost me $55 if I paid for it, but I needed to push the limit.
I will say that my hustle was built on having acquired (for free) the infamous $200 tote bag emblazoned with the word EREWHON, an exclusive sign of belonging to an elite society. No one with this bag is worth looking at, apparently, and it allowed me to obtain hot food as well as the dreaded Kendall Jenner Peaches and Cream Smoothie for zero dollars and zero cents. I can’t reveal exactly how I accomplished this, but a true thief already knows how I did it, especially the anarchist ones."

Locking Up Items To Deter #Shoplifting Is Pushing Shoppers Online
Locking up #merchandise at #drugstores and discount #retailers hasn't curbed retail theft but is driving frustrated consumers to shop online more, retail experts tell Axios. Retail crime is eating into retailers' profits and high theft rates are also leading to a rise in store closures. Secured cases causes sales to drop 15% to 25%, Joe Budano, CEO of anti-theft technology company Indyme said previously

12/18/2023: X Lands in the EU’s Crosshairs Over Questionable Policies, Lax Oversight, PCMag
Much of the reaction to the European Commission opening an investigation of the former Twitter for alleged violations of the Digital Services Act has focused on how EU law’s strict provisions over taking down illegal content invite abuses of government power. (See, for instance, my friend Mike Masnick’s dissent at Techdirt.) But the EU’s case also cites areas of misconduct outside of content moderation that speak to a comparable level of carelessness.
12/19/2023: Google Play Store Settlement Should Get You at Least $2, PCMag
The more time I spent reading the fine print about Google’s $700 million settlement (and looking at the fine print in its last quarterly-earnings filing that reported a cash and cash-equivalents balance almost 44 times as large as that sum), the less I liked it.
12/21/2023: How Urban Retail Can Bounce Back, Worth
I filed this feature about how urban retail can deal with challenges of crime and a reduced daytime-worker population back in October–before the National Retail Federation retracted a claim that organized retail crime made up almost half of all “shrink” from stores in 2021. But I hadn’t leaned on that report published in April and instead went with 2022 data on shrink in an NRF report posted in September that didn’t quantify “ORC.” Fortunately, no such qualms have surfaced since publication about the part of this piece (also available in Worth’s Q4 2023 print edition) that endorses mixed-use development to ensure that city neighborhoods don’t rise or fall depending on how many people sit down at desks in offices each morning.
12/22/2023: Twitter Alternative Bluesky Makes Posts Publicly Viewable, PCMag
The social platform that’s become my primary replacement for Twitter took a big step towards exiting its closed-beta status–which should be followed early next year by Bluesky letting anybody sign up, CEO Jay Graber told my Fast Company editor Harry McCracken last week.
12/23/2023: SmartTechCheck Podcast S03 E69, Mark Vena
I joined my industry-analyst friend’s podcast (also available in video form) for the first time since October to talk about our choices for the biggest tech stories of 2023. Since somebody else had picked Musk’s disastrous stewardship of what I sometimes like to call “Xitter,” I brought up the rise of fixed-wireless 5G home broadband.
