Another day, another round of shoplifting at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Pleasant Hill.
Here’s the latest from Wednesday:
3:45 p.m. – A white male in his 20s with a full ski mask on, a black jacket and blue jeans walked out with Jordan shoes, a Warriors jacket and a Nike hoodie. He walked out on the Buskirk side towards Starbucks.
5:30 p.m. – A white male adult put on Jordan shoes in the footwear department, and was walking around the store trying to drop the shoe box with his old shoes inside. It’s unknown if he got away with the shoes.
7:30 p.m. A black male in his 50s and a Hispanic male in his 20s exited the store with a jersey and a black Under Armour bag with items inside.

…. maybe they will close that freebie shoplifting store …. now its more like an overgrown Big 5 anyway but at least Big 5 supports the 2nd Amendment to an extent
I think it sounds like a lot of shoplifting, but I think Dicks is just the outlier reporting it
the dome was better
If they wanted it stopped they could.It’s called a highly skilled gun carrying shoot to stop guard.
You can’t shoot people for shoplifting.
For real. We have a justice system in this country — which everyone is so proud of until we tell gun owners we can shoot people.
I like the equity on display here. That’s what the politicians wanted, so there.
Surprised anyone is paying. I’ve said it before, if no one paid for anything under $950 at any store, the law would be changed in the first two weeks.
The “problem” is that the overwhelming majority of people are honest. I’ve never figured out why society seems to cater to the tiny minority that isn’t.
Just think of it as a going out of business sale. All items are 100% off. Everything must go!
If they don’t address this, guaranteed they’ll be closing the store for good very soon. Which would be a shame, but hey, if you’re going to let people walk out with your merchandise, maybe you shouldn’t be in business. That’s a really poor business model.
“if you’re going to let people walk out with your merchandise, maybe you shouldn’t be in business.”
This states the situation very succinctly.
Ever notice how Barnes and Noble never gets hit by these lowlifes
Sneakers, cell phones and hoodies, kinda shows what brainpower were dealing with when these items are your target. Their like jackals
and vultures, just waiting for the opportunity to scavenge
If I thought I wouldn’t be arrested I would go into the Safeway and put all of their best steaks in a backpack and walk out. Actually I wouldn’t do that but I bet I would be arrested if I did. A crazy world out there. This will never stop until the thieves are arrested and jailed. Officials don’t seem to realize how bad this is for the country. It is like we are spiraling down the drain.
… so what is Dick’s Sporting Goods store doing about this? Probably nothing, just like Safeway.
Where are all the people who re-elected Diane Becton?
Raise your hands – you must be proud of yourselves.
I was there at 6:30 last night and there was a police officer in the parking lot. I think Dick’s is going to have to shift to a model where you make a reservation and then walk through their store, due to all the POS scumbags.
You’ll need to be current on All of Big pHarma vaxxxines in order to enter the store.
That is what is coming. You’ll have no access to your digital currency either.
I was once in a bank in a strange, foreign land.
I had to walk into a small alcove and the staff (who could see me from inside the bank) would activate the inside door to let me inside while, at the same time, the outside door had locked automatically. Leaving was the same exercise, just like an air-lock. Expensive and inconvenient, but it would cut down on the smash-and-grab robberies and shoplifting.
“… unknown if he got away with the shoes.”

Well ! ! ! what shoes was he wearing when he left the store ? ? ?

OK, somebody has to say this regarding the title, “Your Daily Dick’s Update.”
A daily * is a good *.
Sorry.
I need to be sorely chastised and severely lectured.
Welcome to criminal infested third world California; brought to you our liberal Democrat government, and all of those who put them into office.
Perhaps for Safety of paying customers, should install shoplifter express exit and special curb side getaway vehicle parking spot.
Installing a shoplifter express exit and special curb side getaway vehicle parking spot for the safety of paying customers may not be a good idea for the following reasons:
It sends a message that the store condones and facilitates theft, which may discourage law-abiding customers from shopping there.
It could lead to an increase in shoplifting, as individuals may feel emboldened to steal from the store knowing that they have a designated escape route.
It could also lead to a dangerous situation for customers and staff, as shoplifters may become violent or aggressive when attempting to use the express exit.
It could also lead to legal issues for the store, as it may be seen as an accessory to theft or as providing assistance to criminals.
It also can be seen as a bad PR for the store and can discourage customers from visiting the store in future.
Instead, it is better to focus on preventative measures such as security cameras and loss prevention staff, and to cooperate with law enforcement in catching and prosecuting shoplifters.
Arresting shoplifters in a sports store is a futile endeavor, as it serves only to perpetuate the cycle of crime and punishment without addressing the root causes of theft. Not only does it fail to address the underlying issues that lead individuals to steal, such as poverty or addiction, but it also diverts resources away from more pressing matters, such as the prevention of violent crimes. Furthermore, the harsh penalties often associated with shoplifting, such as fines and imprisonment, only serve to further marginalize already disadvantaged individuals and can even lead to recidivism. In short, rather than focusing on punishment, we should focus on addressing the social and economic factors that lead to shoplifting in the first place. AI
