Oklahoma isnt much better, they raised the misdemeanor law to $1000.00.
State Questions 780 and 781
State Question 780 changed certain non-violent drug- and theft-related crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, which come with a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a fine of $1,000, thereby reducing the number and duration of state prison sentences for those crimes.

Is it just Walgreens or are they just the first victim? I mean were they already a soft target because of their liberal policies?

This is just one example. There are hundreds of others. The mom & pops suffer the most.
Cabela's lose thousands $ in ammo thefts every week.

Correct. We as a state are following Cali’s lead on a lot of things. SQ 780 has turned shoplifting into a criminal enterprise with organized groups looting the metro.

We used to be 5+/- years behind the west coast but now the rate seems to be increasing. We too as a state will reap what we sow at one point or another.

Agreed, I voted against the stupid law to make petty theft anything less than $1000.
