Brazen Oregon Lowe's shoplifters push carts laden with $2,000 of copper cable in latest example of 'legalized stealing' in lenient Dem states. Two men casually walked out of the store in Keizer, Oregon with a shopping cart loaded with electrical goods. Among the $2,000 in product were spools of wire with valuable copper. Police are investigating the incident and the men have yet to be identified. Oregon jails are taking in fewer inmates after pressure from prison rights groups over COVID-19 concerns 'These people know they can't go to jail,' said Keizer Lt. Andrew Copeland
Theft in Oregon is more than 30 percent higher than in the rest of the country
Andrew Sullivan, an electrician who filmed the incident, called it, 'Funny and disturbing at the same time'.
'It was so blatant, that's what riled me up. They were just strolling through the parking lot, just riding the carts,' he said in an interview with the Keizer Times.
'I think these guys have done it before because they seemed to have a good system. One guy with the car and two guys with the carts. They knew no one was going to touch them,' he added.
