Store clerks should be trained and armed. If you shoot and kill some of these jerks, maybe they'll think twice.

I with Jo-Ann's suggestion....We've got to do something to teach these turds. What are they going to do with 400 cell phones and ipads anyway? Put them on eBay? Should not the authority try and track these fools down from those resources..

they are gonna sell them cheap at flea markets and alike sales areas, then buy drugs with the money, run out of money, more robberies, its a never ending cycle, if somebody really wanted too, there must be a way to track them down, serial numbers would be my guess !!
