Can we NOT normalize this?
This happened in Kernersville, NC
I was on my way to see family and decided to stop by a target and found a crime scene. I get we want the pets we want, but PLEASE do not steal from stores!!! It’s completely disgusting and ILLEGAL behavior!
“It’s protesting Basic Fun” - ok? Then go trade or buy a pet from Mercari or eBay. Stealing is a CHOICE that can ABSOLUTELY get you prosecuted.
“I bet some kids did it” - that still doesn’t make it any better. And if it was kids, the parents need to be held accountable. Also, if kids come by that are young and impressionable and see that mess of empty boxes, they will most likely think “oh, so it’s ok to steal as long as no one sees”
“It’s a big cooperation, so what?” - I’m not defending any cooperations when I’m making this post. My point is we can’t let this be a standard for our community. People can get bad impressions on our community and if thieves are still stealing $5 CHILDRENS TOYS, they will 100% be locked up behind a glass case just like what happened to pokemon and Needos.
I know most of you have been collecting LPS since you were young (like me) and we NEED to have actual morals and standards when it comes to getting LPS. Dont like Target or Walmart? Buy online or a local store! It’s THAT simple! It’s literally YOUR choice to have a possible police record about steal little plastic animals that aren’t even worth that much
If you’re going to steal, at least clean up the crime scene so I don’t have to report you to AP management (because that’s what I did after taking photos)
