Do you really expect someone to shoplift 20 pounds of groceries? Ofc people in need are going to flip a pricy item and buy necessities.

    Back when I worked retail we had an elderly homeless couple that would steal a crap ton of batteries. They were small, easy to take out of packaging in the bathroom, and apparently resold for a decent price since they're useful for a number of things.

    They eventually got caught because they kept going to the same store every day. Not like they had a car they could take to different locations.
