Comment on Is the 'rise of retail theft' problem in America overblown?

  Thanks to both of you. Damn.

  Workers in the US have an estimated $50bn-plus stolen from them every year, according to the Economic Policy Institute, surpassing all robberies, burglaries and motor vehicle thefts combined. The majority of these stolen wages are never recovered by workers.

  Not surprised, honestly, but I’d never heard that comparison before.
