The corporation, Target, saw major profit losses this year due to theft and looting.

Target is being hit hard by thieves.

2022 theft from stores so far: $400 million

How do you think about that?

Target has 1,938 stores

Through Oct. 29 (3 quarters), that’s:
> $685 in theft per store per day

A lot. That’s not a few deodorants or Advils slipped into pockets.
