Default Check the anti-theft device of this beef tenderloin

I know it's an expensive cut, but really? It's gotten to the point where ya gotta bring a pair of wire cutters to the grocery store to steal a decent piece of meat these days...

I don't see how that device is going to stop anything if they're walking out the door anyway.

Meat used to be locked up too. And they used to call the lock a chastity belt

Here it's a felony to disable an anti theft device I believe.

Looks like an anti-slip device for when the thief stuffs it inside their pajama bottoms.

They did something creative here in NM. They dropped the dollar amount to $500 for a felony. Basically, no more misdemeanors or wrist slapping. It's automatic.

they aren't prosecuting in Ca, that's their reason crime has gone down.....business owners are now starting to refuse paying taxes and the mass exodus continues

But, but, but, Governor Newsome says CA is in the top 5 of "toughest states on crime". I heard him say it, so it must be true!

That's not a bad price for that cut. Typically it's $20/ lb here (although I've gotten it for half that on sale). Must be a shitty neighborhood.

Must have meant top 5 for creating new crimes. How many laws did they enact last year?

I'm not sure if I am agreeing or disagreeing with you here, but what he is trying to say is that since they have legalized so many common crimes like shoplifting, their "crime rate" is way down. If they revoke ALL criminal laws, the crime rate would drop to zero, but I'm not sure that's a good thing.

Bragging rights for the political advertisements (re-election).
Looks good on paper.
Win/win.
