It's a simple matter of probability, Blake.

Even a big chain like Wegman's had to deal with it. The had a store in a
neighborhood where shoplifting was rampant, and guess who made up the vast
majority of the customers? The store tried things like packaging 2 green
peppers in a shrink wrapped tray, to make them harder to conceal. They knew
how many pounds they were putting on display every day, but the data showed
half to two thirds being purchased, with the rest vanishing. Guess what
happened when they took these measures (larger packaging)? We have our own
mini-Sharpton here. He accused the company of "targeting the black
community".

Wrong. They were targeting shoplifters without knowing who they were,
specifically. The only thing they knew was that in this particular store,
the majority of customers were black. It didn't matter to the mini-Sharpton
that in all their stores, they padlock the frozen seafood and put bars
around the cosmetics & pharmacy late at night. He saw only that one store as
an insult to the black community.

In the end, the store closed, which of course caused an uproar yet again.

Somehow I doubt your version re. "calling the cops".
No cook would let go of his roast after he started to marinate it.
And your Cabbage Rolls look big enough to contain a medium-sized
mugger ... ;-P

A speedy recovery,

The way expensive veggies are stolen most often is to hide them inside
of a bag of cheaper veggies. I've personally never done that, but my mom
did turn someone in once that hid a lb. of butter inside of a bag of
potatoes...

How much do those green pressed paper trays cost? I'll need that information
in order to not laugh at your theory.

They weren't losing one in 200. They were losing half to two thirds of the
inventory, and green peppers were mentioned as an example.

The green peppers were mentioned as an example. They were certainly not the
only thing being stolen. You know that.

WHAT??? "a reference to produce theft in particular"?

Stands to reason; potatoes need butter.
She probably had a pint of cream from the last go-round.

Call Danny Wegman or his daughter, Colleen, and explain that their
cost/benefit structure is flawed. Seriously. Call him.
1-800-WEGMANS(934-6267)

You're the expert. Make the call.

That's how it was explained on the news, by a spokesperson for the company.

You want data from Wegmans? Is that what you're asking for? I gave you the
phone number. Call and tell them you need all their inventory shrinkage data
from their former location at the corner of Bay and Culver roads.
