Understanding the criminal mind is best left to criminologists, psychiatrists, sociologists and any other well trained -ists that may apply. They can explain why some people commit the often horrific acts we hear about on the news.
But what about less serious, non-violent crimes? Why would anyone be compelled to steal, oh let's say, common, every day eye care products? I ask because these products are behind a locked plastic shield at my local pharmacy. To purchase a vial of eye drops it's necessary to contact a store employee who meets you in Aisle 5 bearing the appropriate key.
Shoplifting eye drops -- who knew? What's the street value of Visine anyway? Who runs this eye drop underworld? Unlicensed optometrists? Allergy sufferers?
Are these guys part of the same cartel that's stealing liquid Tide to use as currency in the drug trade? If so, they might want to shift their dirty work to Aisle 5. Eye drops are so much easier to get past the checkout counter.
