Public masking is the dumbest thing we've ever done.
ETA: Well, I guess now we've got forced medication so maybe not.

Detergent?
--
That's like cash on the street!
What’s one of the most-stolen items these days? Tide laundry detergent! Why? Because it’s become the new currency on the street, and a lot of drug addicts are stealing bottles of liquid detergent and then trading them for drugs, like heroin and meth. In fact, during a recent drug raid, the police confiscated more Tide than cocaine!
Or drug addicts will steal the detergent and then re-sell it for cash to buy drugs.
Most thieves load carts with dozens of bottles of detergent, then dash out the door. And they often have getaway cars waiting outside. One thief in Minnesota stole $25,000 worth of Tide before he was busted. The fact is thefts have become so common that retailers like CVS are tagging bottles with anti-theft devices, or storing them behind the counter with other frequently-stolen items, like cold medicine. So, why is Tide so tempting?
• First, it’s the most popular brand, it also has the most recognizable logo.
• And since there are no serial numbers on the bottles, it’s impossible to track stolen products.
• Another reason why Tide is so tempting: It’s around $15 a bottle. But it can be re-sold for, say, $10 at flea markets. And some enterprising thieves even make money by reselling the bottles to stores.
What’s the fix? Manufacturers are considering using radio frequency identification chips, so stolen bottles can be tracked.
You can help, too. If you see a vendor at a swap meet with 100 bottles of Tide, or 50 boxes of fabric softener, or any other new product, shop elsewhere. It’s probably stolen. And if fewer people buy stolen goods, the thieves will have fewer reasons to steal it.
And now you know!

The employees will lose their job either way. They’ll either be fired for intervening or laid off when the store goes belly up. Best thing to do is find another job tomorrow.

Why didn't they get a pic of the license plate and turn it over to the police?

Those thieves can go through all that for 5 dollars resale ea . Risk / reward tolerance is low

Great. Add another liberal state that can be looted with no recourse. Spread the news. Make it a Tik Tok Challenge of who can loot more shite.

Stealing detergent - they’ve been studying up by watching Supermarket Sweep. Smart.
