She said the retailer has seen a noticeable jump in organized crime, with people coming to stores to steal consumer electronics — and in some cases, bringing a weapon such as a gun or a crowbar.
She said San Francisco and other parts of California have been “hot spots” for the crimes but that there are problematic pockets across the country. In some cases, she said, more than a dozen people rush in a store and run out with goods. In other cases, it’s just a couple of people.
Would it not be a simple solution for the store to make a copy of everyone's ID when they enter the store? Especially a store like Best Buy? If you don't have an ID, you can't enter.

That would be discrimination and probably racist since it's racist to ask for an ID to vote.

All but pointless against a savage mob. More and more retail is going to need serious (as in armed off-duty police officers) security at the door in order to stay open profitably.

Now that mobs of criminals know they can sack department stores with impunity, I expect them to be very active on Black Friday. I mean, they blend with the crowd. Black Fridays are chaotic by nature. A crowd rushes in and grabs all manner of sale items. What is to stop dozens or hundreds of them from simply rushing out of the store in the chaos, without paying for anything?
My prediction is "you haven't seen anything yet". I think Black Friday is going to see widespread retail theft on a massive scale in many cities. I am sure the planning for it is already underway.
How could you even tell who paid and who didn't? How could you identify theives after the fact in the madness of the crowds, both in stores and in parking lots? It is mass confusion. It is the perfect opportunity for many thousands of theives to sack hundreds of stores around the nation.
I think Black Friday is going to be historic regarding shoplifting.

We had the answer -- prosecute petty theft. Liberal cities around the nation decided to stop prosecuting petty theft and thereby gave a green-light to it, and now it is escalating to grand theft and strong-arm robbery. The answer was to put the fear of God into most thieves by catching, arresting, and prosecuting them. Liberals stopped doing that, and this is the logical result. As long as liberals stop prosecuting shoplifters, this will escalated until stores in liberal cities simply close their doors and go to on-line sales only.
LA luxury mall latest to be hit by smash-and-grab thieves
Excerpt below
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A group of thieves smashed windows at a department store at a luxury mall in Los Angeles, triggering a police pursuit just days after high-end stores throughout the San Francisco Bay Area were targeted.
The latest incident in a national trend of smash-and-grab crimes targeted a Nordstrom store at The Grove retail and entertainment complex. It came as the country’s largest consumer electronics chain said that an increase in organized theft was taking a toll on its bottom line.
The Grove incident followed a weekend of similar brazen thefts in the San Francisco Bay Area and Beverly Hills in which groups of people, some carrying crowbars and hammers, ransacked high-end stores and stole jewelry, sunglasses, suitcases, clothing and other merchandise before fleeing in waiting cars.
The thefts are believed to be part of sophisticated criminal networks that recruit mainly young people to steal merchandise in stores throughout the country and then sell it in online marketplaces.
Would it not be a simple solution for the store to make a copy of everyone's ID when they enter the store? Especially a store like Best Buy? If you don't have an ID, you can't enter.
A simpler solution would be to go back to pre-democrat stupidity and make it the way you found it instead of build back better.
