[quote]increasing trend of unscrupulous businesses taking on local product that has been stolen to order

I've surprised that:
- other local shops buy stolen wares
- middle man who order to steal
- shoplifters are not able to send to prison
- vinyl records of Urban Outfitters
- average 133 GBP per year are added as shoplifting cost onto the price of the retail goods
- increasing the number of shoplifting offences
- 70% of shoplifters are drug/opioid addicts
- mental illness, ADHD, experience of abuse in their childhood may affect to shoplifters
- a methadone prescription and voluntarily attending Narcotic Anonymous meeting are standard treatment for addicts

There is a shoplifting market. There are buyers of stolen goods and drug sellers to shoplifters. That is a social cost for all.
