A California Nordstrom ransacked in less than a minute or two by a gang of 80 with 25 cars.

At least 2 employees assaulted, theives used crowbars to smash things. At least 2 arrest. One suspect had a gun. A near by restaraunt had to lock it's doors once they realized what was going on for safety
 

Stuff like raids will wind up affecting everyone especially those in the area.

San Francisco now going to limit cars near the Louis Vuitton store that was robbed a few days ago in a similar fashion.

If one watches some of the video of the Nordstrom job online a 25 car surge near one building can also cause traffic nightmares. Looking at one vid and traffic was so heavy at that time I surprised many got away.

Just thieves. They usually take the loot across state lines and sell it to criminal organizations (known as Boosters here in Calif; people who sell stolen property on a large scale).

And, btw, people who buy stuff from a Booster know full well they're buying stolen property, and I think they should be prosecuted to the maximum allowed, too.
 
Probably some of the same group from this last week:

These type of incidents could be slowed down if Alameda County allowed more license plate readers. Any time cities do such, civil rights mobs of lawyers shows and floods their local media with news stories like everyone is against whatever despite public opinion being for such. In almost all of these cases, stolen vehicles or vehicles with stolen plates are being used that drive in from Oakland, Richmond, and Antioch. Each day many drive right over the Bay Bridge into San Francisco to prowl streets looking to smash and grab break in cars. If stolen vehicles or plates were read, it would discourage even doing so. In SF, the DA, is now set for a June election recall, because he lets most right out without jail and if a case does go to court, perpetrators are deemed too poor to be fined.
 
Let's face it. It is an easy way to rob a store. These are well organized invasions. There's very little likelihood that you'll be caught. And even if you do, shop lifting carries mostly a fine, and little jail time. The stores are easy pickings. The stores don't have the security, nor personnel to stop an invasion. You're not going to have the Feds after you, like robbing a bank. It's local cops, who will get there after you're long gone. Quite frankly, I don't know how you can prevent it.
 
@JimBob1952 , @Nathan ...surely you have other boards on which to discuss politics. Now you've created busy work for Matrix who is kind enough to host this board, has a no politics rule and your behavior will likely get the thread closed. Great job, guys. :rolleyes:

Definite escalation in San Francisco's gang shoplifting. The more news coverage, the more scumbags will get the idea to try it. There is a very low chance they'll face consequences.

Life borders on politics in many little ways, apparently "someone" was motivated to complain, hence the busy work for Matrix.
 
The lawlessness in many of our cities is becoming ridiculous. Murders and robberies are up in all our states cities...St. Louis being the worst, and even a nice medium sized city, Columbia. MO., is having reports of shootings every day or two. Couple that with the "complaints" against the police, and things will likely get even worse. Most of the gun violence takes place between the street and drug gangs, but an increasing number of innocent bystanders are becoming victims of this stupidity.

Attacks on the stores, and shoplifting just increases the prices the rest of us ultimately have to pay....as the stores and insurance companies recoup their losses.
 
High end stores might be keeping their doors locked and only permitting entry to limited people. We have this happening in some high end jewellery stores after brazen thefts.

Businesses can and are leaving. At this rate, SF is headed for ghost town status.

It's not only the businesses leaving. I have a cousin/family who lived in the Bay Area for decades. When they retired, they could barely wait to exit that area. They moved to Loveland, Colorado, a few miles North of Denver, and say that living there is paradise compared to what the SF area had become.
