Gotta hate them "thiefs."

Seriously, though, I agree with you.

Retailers obviously considered the possibility of small-time theft (like our own shitake mushroom thief) when they installed these things. In some locations, the theft is greater than they anticipated, so they are scaling-back .those locations. Only an idiot would fail to anticipate the need for that sort of adjustment.

The only thing interesting about this development is the inevitable, coming backlash from the race-baiters, because that faux outrage is equally inevitable.
