If you have nothing to lose then no punishment is going to stop it. Even when they hung bandits, there were always new ones coming along.

The problem is that people are so poor and the rich are so rich that organized shoplifting rings are seen as a viable option for many. The problem is that Capitalism incentivizes this behavior. The punishment for theft is the US varies on how much is stolen, but stealing from these high-end stores would be classed as Grand Larceny, and has up to 6 years of prison time and up to 10,000 in fines. This is far higher than most sentences in places throughout Europe, such as Sweden, Norway, Spain, and France, but the theft rates in these countries are far lower. Why? Because these other countries have social safety nets that make theivery not as tempting an option for so many. People aren't as likely to join gangs or theivery rings if their basic needs are taken care of. If your taxpayer dollars went towards the needs of the people instead of for stipends to corperations, then people are less likely to feel entitled to luxury bags ad clothes that are already extremely overpriced and made by the labor of exploited people, often children. So the issue isn't that the crime penalty is not harsh enough, the issue is poverty, Capitalism, and lack of benefits.

Another thought, so then things like from all these loses, we all pay for those price hikes. In some cases they call it inflation. How about we boycott online marketplaces. Period.

This is true. In my country robbers will be beaten near death if caught by the public and the police will just watch. No one will care and no lawyer will try to sue for the beatings.

Need to bring back to the bible days, chop off their hands, no more stealing.. so easy , solved.. lets go hands.

I would ebay is great always has been better then amazon...

eBay actually hand verifies luxury items on their site. So when you buy a Rolex it's authenticated

The business modle of eBay makes it pay a lot more attention to stolen goods. Also, I don't think eBay is ever the evil one compared to amazon and FB.

Right! I used to think that EBay had all the sketchy items. Amazon is getting that way. eBay’s seems to have more protections for the buyer and will allow you to post a complaint about the seller and the product. I had a complaint about getting a fake item on Amazon and they said I couldn’t complain about the seller only the product. What?

@@q-chan4764 Just return it. I contact Amazon customer service a few time, they are very helpful compare to some internet companies.

Scapegoat

Because its harder to reprimand the thief I think, I mean everybody know it's not Facebook/Amazon's fault but they are the one who hold the power here

I saw in another youtube video, might have been a CNBC one as well, it's because Amazon puts all the stock together, as in the Amazon LLC stock with the third party stock. So when they went to ship the one you bought, it was one of the the third party stock. They don't care to keep them seperate. Since learning that and getting two items in the past year I bought new that were used, I now I pay more to buy from anyone other than Amazon or the from the manufacturer directly.

I saw a video of 2 people walking into a walmart.. and they were trying to use a fake receipt or had a history of trying to use fake receipts.. turns out the police were called.. and the guy had warrants for his arrest he had a concealed knife and a concealed gun. the woman with him escaped. he is now dead. What happened is, once the police said they don't want you to leave the store and not come back.. but we will take care of doing a "trespass" on you.. but we will need your ID.. that is when he started to freak out and was trying to escape. hes started to try and run.. he didnt abide by the police orders to stop.. and they had to grab him and put cuffs on him.. then he began to resist having cuffs put on.. that is when the knife was spot in under his pants. he tried to reach for the knife.. then the gun was spotted .. and he tried to reach for that.. then the police told him to stop.. but interestingly.. there was a guys.. supposedly a civillian trying to help the police.. but then the civilian yelled "he has a gun.. Shoot him!!" repeatedly.. and i began to think.. that "civilian" probably knew him.. and wanted to get him killed.. probably didn't want him to identify him as an accomplice?? the civilian disappeared and so did the woman. I have a feeling that guys was a patsy.. and easy patsy whom they could get to do crimes for them without themselves getting caught. and the final straw was actually yelling to the police to shoot him.. saying "he has a gun! Shoot him!" that seemed too professional to me.. it was a form of manipulating the police.. in star wars genre.. they call that "using the force"
