These same clowns are going to cry and complain when these local stores shut down and leave the area without any jobs and no ability to do local shopping. This is how "food deserts" happen and how downtown areas become a ghost town.
I don't think stealing from Nordstrom at the mall is displacing local grocery stores, but you go ahead.
Oh so you think these clowns draw the line at LV purses and ugly shoes?? Yeah ok. Same pieces of trash that do this, will also be willing to hit up some grocery store and steal all the baby formula or other high value items.
And when regular folks see this shit happening, it makes them want to visit all those areas less which creates a downward spiral for businesses and ultimately jobs as companies say "fuck this" and close up shop.
And that still doesn't create food deserts. You don't understand what a food desert is.
Food deserts are created when Walmart sets up shop and undercuts a dozen smaller groceries sending them out of business, meaning that anyone who wants groceries now needs a car to get across the giant government mandated parking lot.
Theft has nothing to do with it and your attempts to link the two are pathetic.
If you think that it's only Walmart that puts shops out of business, you're utterly clueless.
