Hey you're the one that's always talking about how you haven't been here and there in years. LOL I get around. Most of the Bronx is not known to be a food haven, and I'm sorry but having lived in Italy, City Island is not a destination for "good seafood", so that's out. I do like Zero Otto Nove in Little Italy, Kingsbridge Social Club in Kingsbridge and a few other locations though.
Makes sense, you're a foodie (I forgot)
All good
But back to the topic at hand, this whole "wave" of shoplifting has me skeptical
I would actually like to see what borough has the most increased shoplifting then, and then delve into why that is so

Try calling the police and saying a guy just walked out the door with 5 tubes of toothpaste
see if they try to find him
I understand your point, but you have to start somewhere. Are we, as a society, going to "tolerate" this BS, until there are no self-service stores left? Or, as I read somewhere else, do we return to the "ways of old", where the customers enter the store, walk up to a counter, hand an employee a note, the employee gets what's on your list, then you pay and leave? And in the meantime customers line up for a couple of hours, while this scenario repeats itself, over and over?

The answer is easy as to why. There's a huge second hand market for the stuff, and with wages being increased, far fewer workers in the stores. I needed to buy some medicine today from CVS. Worker had to open up the locked up area for me and a few other people to get stuff, and then I had to ask again, since it wasn't what I wanted.

Walgreens has closed at least 10 stores in San Francisco since the start of 2019 and is on the road to close 5 more.
So that suggests that the alleged wave in NY might not be entirely hyped
but it's certainly only in particular stores, not to the same level in all stores
However, this may spread if it is perceived as easy to get away with, organized crews traveling around.

I dont think police are the starting point, it's a security issue for the stores first
Either using security guards and/or locking up stuff
If they lock up stuff, eventually store designers may figure a way to make it a little faster to retrieve.

This is like saying …. Your house got robbed, but it’s ok because you had crappy locks and don’t have a security system. Really? How could it possibly be the stores fault vs the people committing the crime?

That's not what I was talking about
My question was which borough has seen the most increase, and why that particular borough

He expects a security guard to take on gangs of 4,5,6 people.
That's a good reason, too.
