Out of control San Francisco shoplifting forcing Walgreens to close 17 stores

There are stores like this on the east coast. Items stocked in littke shelves up against plexiglass and you ask the clerk for each one.

In the case of Portland, there is a problem where there are virtually no independent mom & pop corner stores and rightfully no one really cares if the earth's 20th most profitable corporation gets looted.

There might be more independent mom & pop corner stores if looters didn't always get away with their crimes.

Now that I think about it, I've never been there or seen one in person, but some of these stores are shown in The Wire, in a particularly troubled part of Baltimore. Sort of like an armored bodega.
