A nationwide retail theft epidemic cost the United States close to $100 billion in 2021. Stores are being forced to raise prices or shut up shop, insurers are refusing to help, and smaller mom and pop stores are being left behind. In this series, Mayhem on Main Street, the Washington Examiner will investigate the causes behind the scourge of shoplifting, the role of the cartels, the cost to stores big and small, and the complicity of lax prosecutors.
In San Francisco’s Union Square, for example, the departure of a few well-known retailers from the area led to a mass exodus that has resulted in the closure of nearly half of the complex’s stores since 2019. Now, organized retail theft has helped keep some shoppers out of the brick-and-mortar stores to which they might otherwise return.
Surveys show retail workers report feeling less satisfied and safe on the job as crime becomes a more regular occurrence in many of their workplaces. California legislators are working on a bill that would prevent retail employees from stopping robberies at their workplaces.
