Such a strange combination of items, who is buying mayo on the black market?

    The stuff that’s stolen for resale is typically high value items, so Whittakers chocolate is no surprise. Meat is another common one, although that is perishable.

    Shampoo, I guess it’s expensive enough to sell for a decent amount?

    Very strange behaviour.

      Why is it strange? It’s poverty driven shoplifting at face value. It’s not that hard to move that stuff in public housing or a trailer park. Probably not even a lot of organization to it.

      Possibly acute or untreated mental illness.

      Poor people shit. I’ve been pretty poor.
