From a snowy and quiet Monday 1/28 –

Man, maybe it’s time for me to check out Goodwill. With five shoplifters a week, they must have some pimp threads!
Maybe after the Dearborn Project pours money into them, they can hire full-time security and let our cops get back to those little drug and gang problems.
Yeah, that’s pretty low ripping off a charity thrift store. Maybe there isn’t any thrill left in stealing from the collection plates at church, too easy and bush-league. They’re taking it up a notch.
There’s at least one shoplifting event there per day. Today alone there was probably 4 (only typed up the most interesting one).
The only store that gives them a run for their money is the QFC at Broadway & Pike. They average one every other day.
