The shoplifting rates in big cities rose by about 70% from their 1980 to early '90s, then fell fairly steadily to around 60% of '80s levels until around 2007, then started rising again. They got back to their '80s level around 2015 and and swung around that by about 10% since then, until there was a drop at the start of the pandemic.

In small cities the pattern was the same except the peak around 1990 was a bit lower, the decline through mid-2000s only got down to a little below '80s levels, and the 2015ish rise wasn't as big (although because the earlier decline didn't get much below '80s levels the small city rates were higher than big city rates).

This article has a nice graph of this from an FBI report [1].
