Apparently shoppers are getting frustrated enough with the empty shelves, non-existent shopping carts and garbage all over the store at the Atlantic Terminal Target that they've decided to just help themselves to your wallets and purses! Perhaps in protest!? From Brooklynian:
"Wife was shopping their Wednesday late afternoon. Her bag was in her cart, underneath stuff she was going to purchase. Someone grabbed the bag while she was perusing, rifled thru her wallet, grabbed her debit card, and chucked her wallet. She figured it out quickly, and we called to cancel the card before the thief used it. BE AWARE!"
For those of you that are new around this joint, you might have missed our undercover Atlantic Terminal Target video series back in the 08/09. Just in case, here it is:
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
I have to say, I have returned to Target on several occassions since we did our original undercover series and it *has* been much better than it was (I'm taking ALL the fucking credit for that, obvies). Also, I discovered the Target Pharmacy, which was kind of life-changing. However, based on the fact that:
- the economy is still mostly in the shitter
- people are riding around on their bikes stealing iPhones
- my iPad was stolen right out of my motherfucking hands on the subway
- Target is always full of angry, frustrated people who just want to get outta there and aren't paying attention to shit
I can totally believe that people are getting jacked there. So yeah, be careful. Safety first, ppl!
