Retail Smash and Grabs Take It Up a Notch

At some point insurance is going to abandon Chicago retailers. About 20 milliseconds after that, the retailers will abandon Chicago. Watches worth $2 million taken in downtown smash-and-grab as retail raiders strike again and again - CWB Chicago

This story was supposed to be about how shoplifting raiders stole thousands of dollars in merchandise from the North Face store on Michigan Avenue two days in a row.

Not any more.

Chicago police are investigating after a smash-and-grab team stole an estimated $2 million worth of wristwatches from a luxury car dealership near the Mag Mile on Saturday afternoon.

Those thousand dollar thefts also took place. $1000 from a Nike store on Friday, and $20,000 in coats from an Oak Street retailers. And more.

And it all happened as the Chicago Police Department supposedly had a special plan and extra resources in the area to make sure the downtown retail strips “remained safe.”

It's a good thing that Mayor Groot and Company outlawed car chases, and foot chases, and generally enforcing the law. Apparently enforcing the law is unfair. Or something.
