San Francisco has been no stranger to retail crimes."Definitely retail theft is out of control," Alejandro Jimenez of Randa's Market said.
A small business owner is now worried she'll be forced to leave San Francisco if she is targeted again after her shop in Cow Hollow was broken into. In the Mission District, someone tried to break into Randa's Market Wednesday night, cutting the lock on their front gate.. Videos showing organized retail thefts in Union Square seemed more common. Ultimately, the thefts reportedly led to economic losses, contributed to store closures and forced some upscale stores to change to appointment-only.
