Arrest the thieves...enforce the laws! Police now at BJ's. What does that say? How very sad.....

Can u blame then it's ridiculous

Sadly the business model is changing with more competition from online retail. Hopefully everyone can get another pharmacy to fulfill their prescriptions. slate.com/business/2022/11/cvs-walgreens-shoplifting-plexiglass-barriers-pharmacies.html

There stores that sale legal pepper spray I bought one

Lawless city. This will happen more and more

the same thing happened on Palmetto Street around 9:30PM ...I heard a woman screaming for help and then my neighbor scared him away. Suspect fled in black SUV and he probably hit the parking car.

I hope they catch this person and lock them up.

This is why I tell my wife when she walks in the street to carry a can of hairspray or deodorant spray in her hand and be ready to use it since in this great City we're not allow to carry pepper spray or defend ourselves any way we can.

Good read. What a shame that the Morrell house was torn down with so much history! (They must have sold off their land prior to the 1980’s less they house). Glad the furniture was donated for historical preservation.

Like cutting of your nose to spite your face !

So interesting😀
