Letter writer says, “Post the mugshots” of retail thieves
Dear Editor:
I think a little embarrassment may bring humility. One would hope anyway.
CA has made it too easy to steal without consequences. At the very least, a little shame may deter people from being outed.
The thief would be greatly embarrassed when friends, family, co-workers, children, neighbors, etc. see what they have been doing during their free time.
I’m really concerned that stores are closing and having to add expensive anti-theft measures that have made shopping unenjoyable.
It’s not fun shopping anymore, to me, a 60-year-old person AND when I do shop, it’s sad to see empty storefronts.
I no longer shop at a Mexican Creamery near the closed Macy’s in older Antioch because that shopping area is literally a ghost town. Somersville area. I don’t feel safe.
I hope the Antioch/Brentwood shopping centers along Lone Tree Way, don’t suffer the same fate.
Thank you!
Maggie Ahumada
