'Blatant' Oregon shoplifters walk out of Lowes with full carts: 'Don't do this' (regular, dollars)

[Suburban_Guy]

No surprise these kinds of things are happening with regularity across the country.

Even if by chance shoplifters are arrested, they'll face nothing but possible fine and then released (catch and release system). A misdemeanor at most depending on amount stolen.

What a joke of a system we have.

Video of shoplifters stealing thousands of dollars worth of electrical wires from a Lowe’s store in Oregon has angered local residents.

"It was so blatant, that’s what riled me up," Keizer, Oregon, resident Andrew Sullivan, who filmed the incident, told the Keizer Times. "They were just strolling through the parking lot, just riding the carts."

That’s looting and the store should have the right to shoot them.

Fake paper licence plate too.

Well... maybe those guys needed the wire to survive?

Maybe they were going to sell it for food?

Maybe they were going to sell it so they could afford to buy books for college?
There is no doubt if these guys are caught that they would have some sob story and the judge would go easy on them.



Maybe we should borrow from our Muslim "friends" that practice Sharia Law and those shoplifters would have a finger cut off. We won't go full hand for a first offense. We are not barbarians but the criminals are.

at some point the lawlessness of these Democrat states should end but seeing things like this makes me think that time is not soon

Of course it is the honest customers who now have to pay jacked up prices to cover the thousands of dollars in theft because of these greedy jerks.

The most interesting thing to the story is that msn carried it.

Kinda looks like a little buyers remorse creeping in on all these social justice mantras about how it's bad to arrest people etc.

WORSE! They drove off in a Subaru (and a Forester at that)! The car of the environmental loving liberal (I have one, I can say that).

Of course, maybe they stole it from some tree hugging friend of nature lesbian or gay...............

............................they didn't even return their carts to the corral!

Strange that they decided to steal electrical wire...yes I know they can redeem the copper for cash (but the amount of wire they stole, would likely net them around $30 at the most), plus they have to strip the wire down to the copper, so in the end, they are not gaining at all.


If they were going to steal from a Lowes, why not go for power tools? LOL
