Police say shoplifted merchandise being sold at Bay Area flea markets 

More future loosers that will most likely be homeless, parents raise yo kids right!

This also funds more gang activity Leading to more violence, robbery rape and murder Really smart SF, great policy

@@tremblence blx……!!!!!!!

worse, when you treat people trying to enforce laws as if THEY are the criminals.

@@mikeg3439 you get what you vote for. Funny thing is all these buisnesses will leave California, and vote the same way they did before turning their new state into a shithole just like the one the left. Forget the southern border, we need a wall around California

And Target is closing @6 too because of these douchebags

If there weren't customers buying these stolen products the stealing would not exist.

Plus, anything less than $1000 doesn’t get prosecuted. So, it doesn’t count in the report.

I don’t believe that statement for a second.

theft is also down because a lot of these stores don't bother to restock items. So there is not much left to grab.

Its only legal if you steal from a corporation

Just kill these shoplifter, no law and order anyway

So I guess anybody can just take what they want from these people and not get charged with a crime, that might be a good idea , see how they like it

@@frankregg9048 AGREE.

I see nothing wrong with what they did, the corporation’s can quite literally write the damages and losses off it’s in their favor either way get off their 🥜’s 😭

Yep. Left my bike, helmet, and bag with a lock that I thought I would need at the train station. When I seen that not one bike was locked, I certainly didn’t want to stand out and put the lock on it. Came back to find it untouched. Yet when I rode it back onto base I definitely had to lock it up.

@@cvn6555 wait what? The Mafia?! How so?! Tell me how.

Now I wanna move to Japan.

I agree … it’s sad that it’s come down to this . These corporations reporting record profits meanwhile some ppl have to choose between food or insulin. I don’t condone theft at all however I am saying they started it with corporate greed . And the government allowing them to price gouge the public and slap a red now I’m on it and blame it on inflation. It’s greed , and some ppl chose to fight back . The sad part is it affects all of us . They are corporate thieves and suffer no consequences , but if the ppl do it then it’s a crime … that’s pretty darn ironic if you ask me …

I’d expect them to buy the one legitimately search for deals and force target to compete on pricing

Need solid evidence. NO ACTUAL evidence...

Well said and sadly true. I could compare it to the Republicans in Congress that let a twice impeached president off. Except, you know, that guy ripped off all taxpayers and not just SF ones. Same difference, higher stakes and both wrong.

she is lying because she can and there are so many brainwashed leftist voters in the city who believe her, no matter what.

All the mayor has to do is walk two blocks down from City Hall and see all the Hispanic and Asian people buying all the stolen merchandise on 7th and Market st. The police stand there and watch it continue day in and day out.

Those “organized thefts “ were organized by BLM DURING THEIR QUIET RIOTS.

They're closing Walgreens in Massachusetts? Lol

En masse. In mass seems like your talking Bout a church service or using the short form of Massachusetts.

AB109, Prop 57, Prop 47, electing Marxist DA's, it goes on and on. In Los Angeles County we have ONE man trying to fight this, the County Sheriff, a Democrat, but the entire Democrat leadership in the area is angrily and formally demanding his instant resignation for being a "danger" to their communities with his attempts to curtail crime.

They had some good deals before they closed

Prop 45 would put an end to it in no time.

Wait till the I>R>S find out!!! Whoa!!

So the voters continue to get it wrong w/every election that comes before them. When the damn map says go right, they go left. Why? Why must San Francisco & Californians continue to choose the same depressing leaders for their great cities?

DEMS in CA Deserve to have theire WALLETS R@PED by chinaJoe & pisslosi to add to her MILLIONS!!!

Exactly!

Most definitely, these flea markets need to be regulated. I’m more convinced that people hve accepted this as the norm and no one really wants to change it.

@andydguitar absolutely

Sad to say but we need tougher laws . So people know there’s real consequences

@andydguitar No because then they'll just start robbing the delivery people at gunpoint. They will also force their way into the closed stores and rob them at gunpoint. The only way to stop this is to get rid of the San Francisco city leaders and turn California into a swing state. They can start by getting rid of the district attorney who is IMHO the first one responsible for this debacle using the current recall election for him. That is the only solution but I doubt that is going to happen.

@@coachfive9656 I agree. Chop fingers off like medieval times

@andydguitar Which will result in the delivery people being robbed.

@@yellowmoon1084 True.

​@@yellowmoon1084 It depends on which homes. Many homeowners have guns. 2 drug addicts entered into a Garden Grove, California, home last year. Both were shot to death. However, if the home only has a little old lady, then they will succeed.

Amazon does not stock everyday items very well. If they do, they are many times from the smaller more expensive sellers. Walmart COM does a better job and is now faster too.

@@Cypherdude1 Are you aware that amazon is opening some actual storefronts?

@@temujinkhan6326 Yes, I know there's one in Seattle, their headquarters home.

No body calls it "san fran" though.

Those businesses can probably just leave those SF residents high and dry

SF needs adult supervision.

I hope they close down. So people can say oh the rich getting richer. But they do not want to watch these videos.

@@PainandMotivation But the rich are getting richer. And how do you think they are getting richer? They steal just like those thugs at Walgreens. The only difference is that the rich have a sophisticated way of stealing and when they steal they don’t steal laundry detergents and toothpaste...they go for the millions of cold hard cash.

1984

Even if it were down it's because they don't even bother calling the police anymore… Obviously less would be reported when its not a crime to steal

@@scottyee707 it's honestly pitiful to have to deal with the lost revenue for the stores, but it is planned for, most of the time. There are diminishing returns that would be further compounded with low dollar items if law enforcement and possibly courts are involved. As for the crooks, they were set free before the pandemic really took off.

The district attorney told the police in San Fran that they are not to arrest thieves so if the police won't take a report, the theft never happened.

@Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho Damn, that's a good answer. Nice pull!

That would be a good one. The flea market gets flash mobbed Walgreens workers 😂😂😂😂

And you will be arrested too. Law is partial towards some people in certain states

Tell people that go to the flea markets not the buy the stuff that is stolen. If people will not buy it, then there would be no sales. People need to stop buying it too. I know it's more expensive to buy the real deal but it's help in the long run to do the right thing

Bring A Protective Device and tell them to STFU.

Have the store owners go to there market stall and start stealing stuff XD.

OK so modern commercial retail is blameless and has no responsibility rrrrrightttttt

@@acemarvel1564 Seems it's up to the D.A. They are the ones who have decided not to prosecute misdemeanors involving theft, citing overcrowded jails and prisons. 0_o

I get the store owner can't take the stuff being stolen back, while the perp is stealing it. But if the owner went to the flea market, I'd think they could steal $950 of the goods there and take it back to their store? And you'd think these stores would figure out a way to block entry to their stores goods, and have their clerks get the goods a customer wants, bring it to a counter, and after payment, pass the item under the counter via a drawer. Or have a way to remotely lock the doors and not let 'customers' out unless they show a receipt?

These stories are simply an advertisement for the crimes to come. Do you have think crooks in another state havent' heard about this new Gold Rush?

@@danbrownellfuzzy3010 I heard on Chicago radio recently, a discussion on that cities problems of this sort. They allow $1000 to be stolen. There is no talk of fixing that, only trying to stop the 'smash and grab gangs'. 0_o I wonder what the end game is? Government take over of all businesses? In the name of safety? Like what happened in the USSR, China etc?

Cops are useless

They just want their pensions

It's like they could not give a rat's arse about it. Too difficult to check out a flea market and call in some items to see if they have been stolen.

You can "know" whatever you want, but this is America and the only thing in determining guilt that matters is what you can prove

The mayor herself is the biggest thug. Just look at her with so much hate she has toward wealthy ppl and corporations that she wants to take away wealth from these stores and distribute to her own thugs hyenas

Note to Self Whenever you feel like shoplifting, go to Libtard California... It's call reparations over there. They will even give you a bag.

Think I'm kidding go to San leandro Street and 38th avenue in Oakland that's just one that im talking about.

Are you always a simpleton? It goes beyond their profits it causes the cost of these items to go up, not to mention stores go out of business or close in the city and people have to travel even further to get these items in pay More, not to mention lose their jobs. If people were stealing for the company you work for day you would lose job too idiot

​@@DZ302-Z28 if they increase prices people are just going to shoplift more. if people are desperate enough to risk criminal charges for toothpaste etc you'd think the solution would be to lower prices so they actually buy it but that would mean millionaires/billionaires make a little less money. the US for the last few decades has been completely destroying the middle class and creating only the super wealthy and the poor. and now the poor are so poor they are falling out of the bottom of the economy. we literally have a law that says that corporations are people. it's absurd. if my access to housing and food is dependent on making profits for corporations and the mega rich then the problem isn't shoplifters. a step in the right direction would be restoring the organized labor movement and reversing the complete capture of the government by these wealthy interests. i refuse to let some PR agency convince me that poor people are my enemy

You see that racist store manager try and trip that poor guy? LMAO

@@bobfish3176 he's not racist, he's just annoyed. He shouldve had the employees immediately escort all other shoppers out, then locked the door

This lawless happen in California, becasue of the stupid fake democracy happen in Califonia. The homeles, shoplifting robery and other crime is legal in California, as long as you have nothing to lose, then you are free to commit crime in this jungle state.

might have to start stealing from flea markets

More like Amazon

For about 3 weeks.

A, no

All stores should just close. Simple.

Honestly, it's not even about ''criminals'' stealing things. This would entice even otherwise lawful citizens to take things they would normally pay for. I'm a broke college student and the idea of not being arrested for stealing would intrigue me too. Especially kids and teenagers.

That'd be infinity percent return

What puzzles me is why stores in those areas don't install a wall to wall counter with bars on top and security drawers under the counter. Customers could walk in to get out of the weather, but would have to stand at the counter. Then ask a clerk to get the item they want. Which would be picked and brought to the counter by the clerk. Once the item was paid for, the clerk would put the item in the drawer under the counter and push it out to the customer. Problem solved.

How about a combined total of $1000.00 ?

@@thomasbailey9820 No because if it's $1000 per item, then it immediately breaks CA's stupid law if they steal one item. That's the point.

It would incorrect for me to judge Mississippi as a great state because there are so few homeless. Not a lot of people want to live in Mississippi and the few that do have very little competition getting a home and therefore they are very cheap, even a homeless from California could afford to rent a place in Mississippi.
