The article is BS, just look at the SF map where it states that there's barely any shoplifting in SF because only ~80 reports where made on a particular area.

Anyone from the Bay Area will tell you that there is much more rampant shoplifting, than what is reported because everyone knows there is no point in reporting it

I'm from the Bay Area and I have little first-hand data about shoplifting or the ineffectiveness of reporting it. I do know that some Walgreens stores have more merchandise under lock and key than others.
