  1. This gives me hope for the UK, in a rather twisted and perverse way. Apparently, by encapsulating the item inside a container that is too large to conceal about the person, potential shoplifters are thwarted and demoralized.. or at least shamed into avoiding them as theft targets. Meanwhile.. In blue-city USA, such actions are an exercise in futility.. these encased items are stacked to the brim of a shopping cart, and then the shoplifters simply build up a head of steam, set the pace to ‘ramming speed’, and brazenly burst out the front doors of any given store with entire cartloads of ill-gotten goods. Employees with an aversion to being shot or stabbed simply stand aside and film the criminals for upload to TikTok. It is probable that the encapsulating containers are a feature rather than bug, as I can imagine in any given shoplifter’s home, one of those containers filled with stolen sugar, and another filled with stolen coffee, etc..
