metroDetroit™-related post. Cope.

Daniel Jackson, 35, was arraigned Saturday in 52-1 District Court in Novi via videoconference on a felony charge of receiving and concealing stolen property worth more than $1,000 but less than $20,000, Wixom police said.

Wixom police said officers had a known serial retail fraud suspect under surveillance at 10:30 a.m. Thursday after they received a tip he planned to strike at a Meijer store. […] According to the tip, the suspect planned to steal a large quantity of trading cards from the store.

After consulting with the store's loss prevention officers [emphasis mine -- r^2^ ], detectives estimated the value of the stolen property was more than $18,000 [again, emphasis mine ].

Loss prevention officers? Does that mean what I think that means?

Damn, that's why you gotta practice better opsec. Uncritical support for stealing overpriced as fuck trading cards.

My opinion coming into this was: If he was stealing from some random kids or regular enthusiasts fuck him, if he was stealing from some rich fuck or a retail outlet then awesome.
