That was weird indeed, but really not so weird of late. It's called


organized retail crime and, despite the obsession with San Francisco, it occurs in a lot of major cities; New York, Miami, Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles. No one is immune right now. People steal this stuff and then fence it on the internet, with online retailers often exacerbating the situation. FBI has a task force specifically to work on the problem. So does California. My understanding is that a lot of the industry believes there needs to be more stringent federal and state laws covering it.
