It’s convenient to rob a convenience store; in and out, make it quick.
Commonly called “Stop & Rob” on the mainland.
But the max you get is $100 and a few packs of cigs. In return the state spends big bucks on your free lawyer and you cop a plea and get probation. Then the cycle repeats.
Just like when I was a kid catching talapia at the river. Catch and release, come back the next day and repeat the process.
1) All convenience stores should offer free coffee to police officers so that they will come around more ofter and w/o advanced warning 2) pls blow away these thieves 3) the stores post the photos of these thieves in the stores 4) offer a 10X the amount stolen as a reward 5) we need to take out the trash people–bury these thieves
