- i_like_apis 5y agoThe frequency and scale has been increasing. Walgreens is closing stores in SF. And the flashmob smash-and-grab trend is newer, it is criminals organizing on social platforms like instagram.
- mcphage 5y ago> Walgreens is closing stores in SF. Having seen a bunch of HN articles about Walgreens closing stores in SF, is this a SF phenomenon? Or even a SF Walgreens phenomenon? It feels a little weird to see lots of people drawing national conclusions from a situation which doesn't feel national.
- i_like_apis 5y agoI didn't mean to draw national conclusions. Regionally in the SF Bay Area, the frequency and scale of shoplifting and smash-and-grab is definitely increased.
