Daniel Jackson, 35, was arraigned Saturday in 52-1 District Court in Novi via videoconference on a felony charge of receiving and concealing stolen property worth more than $1,000 but less than $20,000, Wixom police said.

Wixom police said officers had a known serial retail fraud suspect under surveillance at 10:30 a.m. Thursday after they received a tip he planned to strike at a Meijer store. […] According to the tip, the suspect planned to steal a large quantity of trading cards from the store.

After consulting with the store's loss prevention officers [emphasis mine -- r2 ], detectives estimated the value of the stolen property was more than $18,000 [again, emphasis mine ].

Loss prevention officers? Does that mean what I think that means?

    Damn, that's why you gotta practice better opsec. Uncritical support for stealing overpriced as fuck trading cards.

    My opinion coming into this was: If he was stealing from some random kids or regular enthusiasts fuck him, if he was stealing from some rich fuck or a retail outlet then awesome.

    It doesn't mention how he was stealing the cards. Presumably he would ask to look at one and then ask about another to distract while pocketing the first?
