1556: Uncertainty Complex
Retail Crime, San Francisco Store Closures and Dior Heist
Major retailers continue to flee San Francisco due to rampant shoplifting and a lack of police enforcement. While some officials claim crime statistics are down, critics argue this is due to under-reporting and laws like Proposition 47 that classify thefts under $950 as misdemeanors. Meanwhile, a high-profile heist at the Short Hills Mall in New Jersey saw masked men steal $125,000 worth of Dior handbags.
