A​ Store ​in San ‍Francisco ‍Takes ⁤Drastic Measures to‌ Combat‌ Shoplifting

A ⁤store in San Francisco ​is facing a⁣ wave ⁢of thefts, prompting them to ‌implement ‌a ⁣unique solution. ⁣According to ⁤a⁤ report ‍from​ KPIX-TV,⁢ the freezer section ​of a Walgreens⁤ in San ⁣Francisco ‌has​ been​ chained‌ up⁤ to prevent ⁢further ​thefts. Shoplifters have been​ specifically targeting⁣ the ⁣ice‍ cream and pizza ⁢section of⁢ the store, leading to ‌this⁤ drastic ‍measure.

According ⁢to ⁣workers at the‍ store,⁢ shoplifters have been⁣ cleaning out⁤ the⁢ pizza‍ and⁢ ice⁤ cream‍ section‍ every​ night, hitting the⁣ store up‌ to 20 times a day. This ⁤has forced ⁣the store ‍to ‌lock ‌up ⁣multiple ​sections,⁢ including cosmetics, ‍razors, air fresheners,⁣ and​ hair​ dye.⁤ The situation ‌has become so dire ‌that even‍ Tesla‍ CEO Elon Musk ⁣expressed ⁤his‍ disbelief on Twitter.

20⁤ times a ⁣day?

Unfortunately, this ‍is‌ not⁤ an ‍isolated⁢ incident in San‌ Francisco. ⁢The city‌ has seen ​a​ rise in⁣ vehicle thefts,⁢ robberies,​ and ‌homicides ⁣in 2023. Over ​20 retail⁤ stores ​have closed ⁤in the ⁣downtown area⁤ since 2020, and⁢ more than⁤ 10,000 cases of larceny or theft ⁣have been‍ reported​ this​ year alone.

Despite‌ the alarming⁢ situation, the ⁣San ⁣Francisco Mayor’s‍ office and ⁤Walgreens have ⁢not ⁤yet⁢ responded⁤ to ⁢requests for ‍comment. It remains to be seen how this issue will be addressed and if additional ‍measures‍ will be ​taken ‌to ‌combat⁣ organized theft in⁢ the city.
