WOW! Who knew? SB91 was EXPORTED to Hawaii! But it was supposed to HELP! Just like here in Alaska. But suddenly (horrors!) it appears that "It's organized retail crime", "Spam has become a form of currency, particularly for drug addicts in need of quick cash", "they steal right under the cutoff for a felony".

This is EXACTLY what they are doing in Anchorage! The shoplifters are ORGANIZED, they come in with a list of what they are after, they steal up to the 'cutoff', then funnel whatever they steal into the drug wave surging through Alaska. One difference I see here though, in Hawaii they are actually locking up the merchandise to try deterring the thieves. Multiple big-box stores here don't bother, they don't take any precautions to secure their merchandise, they just pile it out on the floor and tell the employees to look the other way, or be fired. Looks like SB91-style doesn't work, here or elsewhere, and it's had plenty of time to show it's effects.
