Rising Tide

[deguspice]

Apparently the latest hot item to shoplift is Tide laundry detergent. Not only is it easy to sell on the streets (popular and no serial numbers to be traced), drug dealers are taking it in lieu of cash.

Snopes had something to say about this. (http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/tide.asp)
My gut sense is that in the context of the bigger picture, there are no more Tide thefts than there are thefts of anything else in a store.
