Target blamed theft and violence when it closed 9 stores in New York, Seattle, San Francisco and Portland, but crime is worse at locations it kept open nearby.

Some of those locations were even in high income areas where the police are well funded, so even that possible explanation falls short.

    It costs nothing to lie, maybe they get more police presence or inspire customers to rat on one another.
