California retail stores lock up underwear as Newsom vows crackdown on rampant retail crime surge

Two major retailers have begun to lock up undergarments in their California stores amid a surge of retail theft in the state.


Several retail stores from different corners of the country have kept beauty, hygiene, and cleaning products on lockdown in recent years, but the effort to limit the loss of goods to theft is reportedly making its way into the clothing department in some Golden State stores, according to a report from one local outlet.

In an effort to prevent the loss of additional merchandise, some Target and Walmart stores in the San Francisco Bay Area have locked up underwear and socks, frustrating customers who have to wait for assistance to receive their desired undergarments.

Highlighted in a report from NBC Bay Area, the effort has garnered the attention of those who shop at the stores and are inconvenienced by the new method.

Newsom is aware of two things that need to be done to cut crime:

1.  Reduce the number of cops

2.  Not arrest as many perps

If no one reports it, and if no reports are filed, it didn't happen, Right?

Then the lack of statistics is cited to prove crime went down.


In Denver, when weed was legalized, the police stopped responding to property crime complaints unless they were real major events. As a result the stats showed a decrease in crimes such as theft. That statistic was the desired result. Then, crapping in the streets became legal...for illegals.
