I don't know if this is the police's problem to solve. Police historically don't solve problems, but rather react to crime reported to them. They aren't Cotopaxi's or other private business' private security detail, and if they were to be tasked with trying to prevent crime before it happened, to profile us, closely watch over our every move, then we'd be literally living a police state. This is worse for society than a big corporation having a problem with shrinkage, or, God forbid, wood boards on their property getting graffitied.
