This would be a scandal. It would be a news story. Please, give a link to a single time this has ever happened, because of all the things that never happened, this happened the least.
I’ll do you two better. Only took 15 seconds of Googling, after all:
I have already looked up the information for myself and admitted I was wrong about the fact that the theft rings exist, it’s in this thread if you read just a couple of comments deeper. That’s not the only thing you said though.
As for your claim that “nobody” steals for their baby, which you didn’t reply about, that also took two seconds of searching to debunk:
Also, the idea that the theft is responsible for the store being out, or that they charge an enormous markup, are both still completely unsubstantiated.
This isn’t the cut and dried issue you seem to think it is, and I’m still definitely not about to ruin a parent’s life for stealing food because they might be part of some theft ring. I also am not going to narc on the theft ring. That’s not my business.

Time to find out if you’ll admit you’re wrong, or if the smug ignorance continues.

Congrats on contradicting the absolute literal interpretation of what was obviously hyperbole, I guess.
