'Stop the Steal' Protests:
4 stabbed, 33 arrested as protesters and counterprotesters clash in Washington, DC
Nearly three dozen people were arrested during a night of unrest in
downtown Washington that began Saturday with rallies supporting President Trump
and descended into chaos and violence as a group with ties to white nationalism
roamed the streets looking to fight. Among those arrested was a 29-year-old from
Northwest Washington who was arrested on a charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon.
In all, eight members of the Metropolitan Police Department suffered injuries
in connection with the demonstrations, according to an update from the office
Sunday.
For most of the day, police largely kept opposing factions separated, at times
frustrating the Proud Boys, a male-chauvinist organization that supports Trump’s
attempts to reverse election results. Confrontations broke out after dark, when
Proud Boys and their supporters ventured near Black Lives Matter Plaza and were
prevented access by police, many using bicycles as mobile barricades.
Four people were stabbed, one critically, during a scrum near Harry’s Bar
at 11th and F streets NW, a Proud Boys hangout where hundreds had gathered, some
dressed in body armor and helmets, and where many had been drinking in the
street for hours.

Looting Task Force Conducts Historic
Investigation
Chicago police still searching for downtown looting suspects 4 months later
The summer night when crowds descended on downtown Chicago, shattered store
windows and poured inside the gaping holes to grab as much merchandise as they
could carry away is a distant memory to many in the city. Even as the
coronavirus crisis, the presidential election and the city's gun violence
epidemic pushed other news aside, detectives and prosecutors kept at
one of
the biggest investigations in Chicago history to find and arrest those who
from late Aug. 9 into the early hours of Aug. 10
turned block after block into the largest crime scene the nation's third-largest
city has ever seen.
Four months later, detectives on a special task force are still poring
over thousands of hours of surveillance videos and running down the more than
1,100 tips they've received. They keep adding to the nearly 100 video clips
they've posted online in the hopes someone might identify suspects. And they
monitor online sales sites to see if someone suddenly has some Gucci bags or
electronics for sale.
It all has added up to the arrests of more than 100 people, one as
recently as Wednesday, on various felony charges, including burglary,
looting, theft, gun charges, selling stolen property online, and the seizure of
26 vehicles.

Minnesota Judge: Looters Created Anarchy In Twin Cities
Residents of the Twin Cities were subjected to a night of fear and anarchy when
looting broke out earlier this year, a judge said on Friday, as he agreed to
give one of the looters a chance on probation. “This is not an offense that has
anything to do with the theft of a television. It is an offense that involved
kicking the community when it was at its lowest point,” Judge William Yoder told
Deangelo Glass. The mob gathered outside Kohl’s, Walmart, Target and other
businesses was responsible for “causing anarchy in an otherwise peaceful
community,” said Yoder.

Minneapolis police union head blasts city council, says officers 'cannot keep
the public safe with these cuts'
Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis President Bob Kroll on Thursday
morning criticized a decision by the Minneapolis City Council to
move $8 million
from the city's police force to mental health and violence prevention programs
as part of the latest city budget.
"The City Council is decimating the police department," Kroll told Fox News.
"The number of working officers is the lowest it’s been in 50 years. Murders,
shootings, and other violent crimes are approaching record levels. Our officers
are severely overworked, understaffed, and cannot keep the public safe with
these cuts."

First Covid-19 Vaccine Given to U.S. Public
The first U.S. Covid-19 vaccinations outside of clinical trials began
Monday, kicking off the most urgent mass immunization campaign since polio shots
were rolled out in the 1950s.
A
nurse in New York was among the first to receive the shot Monday morning,
and health workers throughout the U.S. were also set to receive the newly
authorized vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE. Pfizer shipped
vaccine vials out Sunday, and hospitals and health departments across the
country received them early Monday.
Some 145 U.S. hospitals and other sites were slated to receive vaccine doses
Monday, followed by 425 on Tuesday and 66 on Wednesday, according to Gen.
Gustave Perna, chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed, the federal
initiative to deliver Covid-19 vaccines.
Only a small percentage of the population will get access to the shots
initially, as early supplies are limited.
Pfizer is shipping out nearly three million doses in this first wave, with
more expected in coming weeks. Pfizer expects 25 million doses will be available
in the U.S. by the end of the month. Another Covid-19 vaccine, from
Moderna Inc., could add to the supply of doses this month if it is authorized,
which could happen later in the week. Both vaccines are given in two doses,
three or four weeks apart.

FedEx, UPS announce first deliveries of COVID-19 vaccine in US
Is retail ready to distribute the COVID- 19 vaccine?
With the FDA’s emergency approval late Friday of a vaccine co-developed by
Pfizer, the nation is now counting on retail to help execute the nation’s most
ambitious vaccination campaign in history.
On Dec. 21, CVS and Walgreens will
start administering vaccinations at the more than 70,000 nursing homes and
long-term care facilities across the U.S. Early next year, they’ll be joined
by Walmart, Costco, Kroger and others for a broader vaccine distribution
as supply expands enough to reach the general public.
One early challenge, however, appears to be finding enough pharmacists to
deliver the shots. A
Bloomberg article reports Walgreens is offering $500 referrals and up to
$30,000 sign-on bonuses for eligible pharmacists and technicians, while CVS is
making aggressive pitches to independent pharmacists. Both drug store chains
insist they’re on pace to meet their hiring goals.
Preparing pharmacies to receive first and second doses remains a moving target
as many details of the government’s distribution plan remain unclear and states
ultimately decide how to allocate Covid-19 vaccine supplies. Transporting and
storing also present major challenges as the initial COVID-19 vaccines from
Moderna and Pfizer need to be shipped in subzero temperatures.
Theft of the highly-coveted vaccines is also a concern.
Finally, retailers may need to step up as advocates for the vaccine. A
survey from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found
that about half of Americans want to get the vaccine as soon as possible,
another quarter aren’t sure and the remaining quarter aren’t interested.

Can a company Mandate? The answer is: Yes.
The Debate Roiling Boardrooms Around the World
Should Companies Require Employees to Take the Vaccine?
Depending on the poll you read, 40 to 50 percent of Americans say they will not
get a coronavirus vaccine when it first becomes available to them.
Widespread coronavirus vaccinations are not only the best way to keep people
from dying, they will also help revive business and the economy.
There is a way to get greater compliance:
Businesses, which have spent the past several years championing their
social responsibility, can require vaccination of employees and, in many
cases, customers.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert,
told me that
until 75 percent of people are vaccinated, we should all continue to wear masks
and maintain social distancing, even if we’ve been vaccinated. That means movie
theaters, indoor dining, sporting events and travel would remain challenged.
Mandating vaccines would be especially important to help protect workers in
minority and lower socioeconomic communities that have been hardest hit in the
pandemic. According to a Pew Research poll,
only 42 percent of Black Americans intend to get vaccinated.
Beyond social welfare, there’s a persuasive argument that a vaccination mandate
could be considered a workplace benefit: If employees knew that everyone around
them is vaccinated, they would feel more comfortable working there.
Some companies could even require their customers to be vaccinated, which
would have a bigger impact on the compliance rate and show genuine leadership.
The law establishes that both the public and private sector can require
vaccinations.
Executives from various industries all said
they planned to recommend the vaccine, but not make it compulsory.
Several said that they have tried to create a culture of trust, and a vaccine
mandate would undermine that trust. Others worried about legal liability if an
employee had adverse side effects from the vaccine. Some said they would like to
mandate the vaccine, but worried that a backlash could spiral into a
public-relations nightmare.

Full Shutdown Coming to NYC?
NYC could face ‘full shutdown’ beyond indoor dining, de Blasio warns
As
vaccines began being put into arms in New York City and indoor dining was
shut down again Monday, Mayor Bill de Blasio warned that additional
restrictions could be coming — potentially including a return to a full
shutdown.
“There’s the potential of having to do a full pause, a full shutdown, in the
coming weeks, because we can’t let this kind of momentum go,” de Blasio said on
CNN when asked about comments made by Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week, in which the
state’s top executive said a fuller shutdown could be in the offing this winter.
“We’re seeing the kind of level of infection with the coronavirus we haven’t
seen since May and we have got to stop that momentum — or else, our hospital
system will be threatened,” de Blasio said.
nypost.com
New York City Restaurants Face Bleak Winter With No Indoor Dining
On Friday, a surge in coronavirus infections prompted Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to
announce a ban on indoor dining in New York City restaurants. This past
weekend was the last time New Yorkers would legally be able to eat indoors at
city restaurants for the foreseeable future, a reversal that reflected the
worsening conditions of the pandemic. Now, thousands of restaurants face an
uncertain future as they brace for brutal winter months that could reduce
business to new lows.
Restaurants across the city are moving to lay off waiters, servers and
bartenders, throwing the workers’ lives in turmoil and presenting a new setback
in New York’s economic recovery. Some restaurants will shut entirely for the
winter months. Others, confronting daunting rent payments and mounting bills,
wonder how, if at all, they will survive.
The governor said on Friday that the city was currently on a trajectory to
hit 90 percent of its hospital capacity, at which point he would close down all
nonessential businesses. He described the prohibition on indoor dining as an
attempt to avoid such a move.

Genetec
Report: State of the Physical Security Industry During Pandemic
Genetec Inc. (“Genetec”), a leading technology provider of unified security,
public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions, today shared the
results of a
state of the industry report based on insights from over 1,000
physical security leaders. The report looks at how the physical security
industry is reacting to the threat of COVID-19, how security professionals are
coping, and how day-to-day operations and plans are affected for the coming
year.
Physical security industry challenges and priorities -
in and out of the pandemic
Not surprisingly, the survey reveals that COVID-19 has led to a focus on
security efforts to ensure the safety of people and facilities. For the majority
of security professionals, the top three challenges during the pandemic are:
managing employee/visitor safety; dealing with physical security threats (e.g.
vandalism, theft, break-ins, etc.); and the remote management and securing of
buildings.
However, while the pandemic has brought on numerous new challenges, the vast
majority of organizations have had to face them creatively. The survey showed
that 68% of respondents reported project delays/downsizing or cancellations this
year; however looking into 2021 48% expect budgets to stay flat or increase with
a focus on ongoing investment in existing systems and deployment of tools to
support ongoing response to the pandemic.
With pressing new requirements and more limited resources, physical security
organizations are stressed but finding ways to pivot to address extraordinary
circumstances. Using resourcefulness and creativity, many security professionals
(48%) are looking to existing systems to help them face these new challenges.

Safer Way to Shop?
Gift Card Sales Up 400% in September/October
Gift card sales increased by fourfold in September and October, according to
InMarket, a marketing platform and app developer based in Los Angeles.
Consumers see gift cards as a safer way to shop since they can order them
online or do curbside pickup. But in an uncertain economy and nearly half of
small businesses reporting they need relief funding to stay in business, many
may close permanently before gift cards can be cashed in.

Only 27 percent of employers plan to return office-based employees to physical
locations in the near term, with most pushing back the reopening of their
workplaces to later in 2021, and some permanently not requiring a return to the
office, according to a new KPMG survey, "Return
to the Workplace," of U.S. senior executives at 100 companies that
represent approximately five million employees in total.
The survey results also indicated that 82 percent of companies are letting
employees decide when they feel safe and comfortable returning to the office,
with only 18 percent mandating that employees return to the office by a certain
date, at this time.

Q3 Cargo Theft Up 27%
The COVID-19 pandemic has provided an opportunity for cargo thieves, with
third-quarter thefts increasing each month year-over-year, according to data
from CargoNet.
The Verisk Analytics-owned data firm, which tracks cargo thefts, found that
combined, there were 319 reported cargo thefts in Q3 this year, compared to
259 in Q3 2019. September saw a 26.92% increase year-over-year.
CargoNet found a similar theme in Q2 as well. Thefts in Q2 increased 371
in 2020, with a 91.43% year-over-year increase in April alone, compared
to 257 in 2019.
For years, electronics were the No. 1 item cargo thieves targeted, but the 2008
Great Recession shifted that. The economic toll the recession took on Americans
shifted buying habits, and thieves responded.
“By 2010, food and beverage became the Number 1 stolen commodity,” Cornell said.
“During economic crisis, people go back to basics – you’re going to clothe
yourself, you’re going to feed yourself.
“As we sit here today, food and beverage has held that Number 1 spot since
then,” he added.
“The natural thought is that the cargo thieves are out there stealing the PPE
and masks, and there has been some of that … but the industry did a pretty
good job to make sure those commodities were not stolen,”
“There has been an ongoing shift from full truckload theft to pilferages of
loaded trailers while the trailer is at rest,” CargoNet reported. “Burglary
and theft incidents – most commonly, trailer break-ins and pilferages – have
risen steadily each year and accounted for 22% of all reported thefts in Q3
2020.”

The 'New World of Retail'
e-Commerce Jobs
Holiday retail workers seek "temporary lifeline" in warehouse jobs,
if they can find one
The balance of available holiday jobs this year has radically shifted from
storefront to warehouse and delivery amid record purchases online. And with
millions of retail workers in the United States and Europe already laid-off,
competition for what remaining jobs are left is fierce, economists say.
The supply of available holiday jobs in U.S. customer-facing retail fell by a
third to 302,100 this year from around 466,400 jobs last November.
Macy’s cut seasonal hires to 25,000 this year from 80,000 in 2019. JC Penney
hiring just 1,700 people in contrast to 37,000 last year.
Meanwhile, applications for U.S. storefront retail positions have jumped by
around 34% year-on-year.
In Europe, the data paints a similar picture of lower vacancies and rising
applications.
Glassdoor saw a 120% year-on-year increase in applications for e-commerce
roles like delivery drivers, warehouse workers and order pickers in the United
States and a 45% jump in the UK.
“This is likely a window into the new world of retail,” Daniel Zhao, senior
economist at Glassdoor, said. “What was done out of necessity during a pandemic
is likely to become an annual online shopping tradition for future holidays.”
reuters.com
How retailers are preparing for more returns than ever this holiday season
Right now, retailers are focused on getting items to customers in time for the
holidays. But come January, they’ll have a new headache to contend with:
processing all of the items that ultimately get returned. To prepare, many
retailers have extended their return policies, giving customers more days
to send back unwanted items. They’re also trying to give customers more ways
than ever to return items. Retailers like Lululemon and Levi’s have made it
easier for customers to initiate returns within their mobile apps, while returns
processing startups like Happy Returns and Narvar have struck partnerships with
companies like FedEx and Walgreens so that shoppers can make returns at more
places than just a retailers’ store.

Time is running out for online holiday orders,
as retailers move up shipping deadlines
The Covid-19 pandemic has created a boom in online orders that has overwhelmed
capacity limits for shippers like UPS, FedEx and the U.S. Postal Service. Three
billion packages are expected to ship between Thanksgiving and Christmas, up
almost 40% from last year, according to delivery analytics firm ShipMatrix. Of
those, 2.5 million are expected to be delayed. In response, retailers have moved
up their standard shipping deadlines to receive orders by Christmas Eve earlier
than in years past.

Last week's #1 article --
Target AP Practices Go Viral in TikTok Video about Felony
Thresholds
Target employees claim the chain will wait to arrest shoplifters
until thieves steal enough to get felony charges.
Experts say it's part of a larger trend to mitigate theft across retail.
A
Las Vegas Target's approach to shoplifting has caused one former employee to
speak out. Isaiah Arellano, a former Target employee who worked at a
North Dakota store in 2016 and transferred to a Las Vegas location in 2018,
recently received attention on TikTok for his widely shared
video on how he says Target addresses its shoplifters.
"They will continue letting you steal; all the while they're documenting the
value amount of every single item that you are stealing," Arellano says in the
video. "They will wait until it reaches or exceeds the amount that makes it
grand theft larceny, which is an actual felony."
The parameters that classify the degree of a theft charge vary across
states. For example, in Nevada the stolen property must
exceed $1,200 in value for the charge to go from a misdemeanor to a felony.
In general, to be charged with grand theft or larceny, a person must be
suspected of stealing more than what would constitute a charge of petty theft, a
more minor theft charge with less-serious repercussions.

WHITEPAPER: The Migration Of Thieves
Illicit
Markets Mirror Legitimate Markets
What is popular in stores today is also popular with thieves today. Like any
other businesses, underground markets depend on the law of Supply & Demand.
Professional thieves will only steal merchandise they can quickly sell, and only
things in high demand sell quickly. Equally similar to legitimate businesses,
professional thieves tend to specialize in certain merchandise. Some only steal
from Home Improvement stores because they have an outlet, or fence, who is ready
and willing to take tools and equipment off their hands quickly. Some
professional thieves specialize in the theft of jewelry, electronics, or health
& beauty products for the same reasons. Their contacts and distribution channels
are mostly equipped to only handle those specific commodities. Because these
vast fencing networks can move large amounts of stolen merchandise quickly,
professional thieves do not hesitate to steal cartloads of these commodities in
a single incident. The more they can steal each time, the less risk of getting
caught. That may seem counterintuitive, but most professional thieves would
rather steal thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise by shoplifting once per
day than stealing that same amount over the course of several store visits per
day. This is why shopping cart-based retailers are a favorite target of
professional thieves. It is also important to note that professional fencing
networks are not necessarily needed anymore. With the development of faceless
apps and online commerce sites, it is not uncommon for illicit transactions to
take place in the vary parking lots of the victim retailers.
So, what happens when professional thieves specializing in the theft of toys,
for example, find themselves with limited access to their chosen commodity?
This is precisely what happened on September 18, 2017, when Toys R Us filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Almost instantly, Toys R Us had to clearance-out their
inventory and shutter their stores. For professional thieves specializing in the
theft of toys, a decision had to be made. They either had to find a job or find
a new commodity to steal.

Huawei Rip-and-Replace
FCC Upholds Ruling That Huawei Poses National Security Threat
Commission Also Considers Banning China
Telecom
From U.S.
The
U.S. Federal Communications Commission has upheld its designation of Chinese
telecom company Huawei as a national security threat, rejecting the firm's
appeal of the ruling.
By reaffirming that both Huawei and ZTE are national security threats, U.S.
telecom companies and wireless carriers can no longer tap into the FCC's $8.3
billion
Universal Service Fund to buy equipment from the two companies. The
commission is also requiring U.S. telecoms to rip and replace the Chinese
equipment from their networks.
In addition to the FCC's concerns that the Chinese government could compel
Huawei to provide information to military and intelligence agencies, the
company's telecom gear and software are known to have significant security flaws,
says FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, a Republican. "The record also shows the
Chinese government has been able to influence Huawei's design and manufacturing
processes."
Rip-and-Replace Rules
The FCC on Thursday also adopted formal rules for reimbursing rural carriers
that are ripping and replacing Huawei and ZTE equipment from their networks.

Intentional Sabotage Cost Cisco $2.4M
Access Management?
Former Cisco engineer sentenced to prison for deleting 16k Webex accounts
Former Cisco engineer accessed Cisco's AWS accounts, and deleted 456 virtual
machines, which resulted in the loss of 16k Webex accounts.
A former Cisco engineer was sentenced this week to 24 months in prison
for accessing Cisco's network without authorization after he left the company
and then destroying servers that hosted infrastructure for the Cisco Webex Teams
service.
Sudhish Kasaba Ramesh, 31, of San Jose, was formally charged earlier this year
in July and
pleaded guilty a month later in August. According to court documents, Ramesh
worked for Cisco between July 2016 and April 2018, when he resigned and joined
another company.
However, for reasons not mentioned in the indictment,
five months later, in September 2018, Ramesh accessed Cisco's cloud
infrastructure hosted on Amazon's Web Services.
Investigators said Ramesh then proceeded to run a script that deleted 456
virtual machines that were supporting Cisco's video conferencing software WebEx
Teams, actions that resulted in the temporary deletion of more than 16,000 Webex
accounts
It took Cisco two weeks to recover the accounts and rebuild its systems,
costing the company more than $2.4 million, with $1,400,000 in employee time and
$1,000,000 in customer refunds.
The tech giant's management brought the case to law enforcement as soon as it
realized the Webex Teams outage was the result of intentional sabotage
and not a server issue.

Editor's Note: How could he still access the system 5 months after he left
Cisco?
Security Leaders Face 'Massive' Insider Risk
Employees are 85% more likely today to leak files than they were pre-COVID
Code42 released its latest
Data Exposure Report on Insider Risk. The study, conducted by Ponemon
Institute, found that both business and security leaders are allowing massive
Insider Risk problems to fester in the aftermath of the significant shift to
remote work in the past year.
During that same time, three-quarters (76%) of IT security leaders said that
their organizations have experienced one or more data breaches involving the
loss of sensitive files and 59% said insider threat will increase in the next
two years primarily due to users having access to files they shouldn’t,
employees’ preference to work the way they want regardless of security protocols
and the continuation of remote work. Despite these forces, more than half
(54%) still don’t have a plan to respond to Insider Risks.
“Insider Risk affects every organization. It is a byproduct of employees getting
their work done everyday – how they create, access and share files in today’s
collaboration culture. However, security teams are at a disadvantage: there is a
lack of understanding of Insider Risk, which is leading to complacency, failing
technologies and inadequate processes. The severity of the Insider Risk problem
is being consistently overlooked, evidenced by the sharp rise in risky behavior
this year,” said Joe Payne, Code42’s president and CEO. “Our findings show that
organizations are not even measuring the efficacy of their Insider Risk
mitigation programs. Inattention to Insider Risk Management, as demonstrated in
this report, will threaten the future of the digital enterprise.”
- COVID-19 exacerbated an
already growing threat
- Organizations face challenges on all fronts when dealing with Insider Risk
- With Insider Risks predicted to increase, security teams need to mature their
capabilities

Just the Facts, Ma’am
I did it again, I went down the rabbit hole of
scrolling through social media and got frustrated at biased opinions. I noticed
the source of opinions and comments on social media is often derived from the
title of the original article, the picture angle from the post or subtle remarks
made by the author that stir up controversy. It’s amazing how a simple word
change can impact the readers perspective of an event. Two actual headlines from
news articles: “Homicide Victims Rarely Talk to Police” and “Federal Agents Raid
Gun Shop, Find Weapons” are examples of the confusing nature of vague titles.

Amazon Ignoring Calif AG Subpoena?
California asks court to order Amazon to comply with COVID-19 investigation
California is taking Amazon to court to
force the online retail giant to cooperate
with a months-long investigation into
whether the company is doing enough to protect its workers
from the coronavirus.
The probe by the attorney general’s office is looking for details about the
nature and extent of Amazon’s coronavirus prevention efforts, including an
examination of sick leave policies and cleaning procedures.
CA. Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra’s investigators are also seeking data on the
number of infections and COVID-related deaths at Amazon facilities in
California. The attorney general said the request for court intervention was
urgent.
“Time is of the essence,” Becerra said. “Amazon has delayed responding
adequately to our investigative requests long enough. We’re seeking a court
order to compel Amazon to comply fully with our investigative subpoenas.”

Tulsa, OK: Tulsa Man Accused Of Stealing More Than $150,000 In Jewelry
A Tulsa man is in jail accused of stealing more than $150,000 in jewelry from
stores in several different cities, including a $70,000 bracelet from
Fayetteville, Arkansas. Detectives said the same person, Jason Gilmore, is also
a suspect in a recent robbery in Jenks. Detectives said Jason Gilmore steals to
support his lifestyle. They said he steals thousands of dollars’ worth of
jewelry and other items, then sells it or pawns it and steals more. Tulsa Police
Riverside Street Crimes detectives searched Gilmore's home this week and found
thousands of dollars’ worth of stolen merchandise. That included a stolen
$28,000 wedding ring and $70,000 bracelet, stolen from a store in Fayetteville.
Detectives said Gilmore's wife was wearing the bracelet. "I was helping
her with the cuffs, just making sure she was comfortable while I was talking to
her and I noticed it on her wrist,” said Detective Mike Smith, with the Tulsa
Police Riverside Street Crimes Unit.

Happy Valley, OR: Ugg boot 'heist' at Clackamas Town Center leads to shoplifting
ring bust
Authorities
said they busted members of an organized shoplifting ring after stopping what
they described as an Ugg boot "heist" at Clackamas Town Center. At about 2 p.m.
Tuesday, deputies got a call about several pairs of Uggs that were just stolen
from Dick's Sporting Goods according to Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. Two
women, later identified as 29-year-old Felicia Lucille Pelote and 25-year-old
Erianna Love Jones, left the mall in a gray Dodge Magnum with Washington license
plates, deputies said.
Deputies responded and found the car parked in front of Nordstrom Rack across
the street. It was empty with the engine still running. The deputies waited a
few minutes, then swooped in once the women walked out of the store and returned
to the car. Jones was allegedly carrying a used Nike shopping bag filled with
boots that had just been stolen from Nordstrom Rack. Through the car windows,
deputies could see several boxes of Ugg boots that had apparently been stolen
from Dick's. They also discovered stolen clothing in the car with price tags and
security devices still attached. Both women admitted to shoplifting. The women
and car matched the suspect descriptions in a separate attempted theft at the
Clackamas Town Center Macy's store a few weeks earlier.

Sometimes you've just got to draw the line on what advice to follow and who you
ask. Certainly getting advice is important on any issue or decision. But at the
end of the day you've got to own your own decision and listen to the bird on
your shoulder. We all have one and oftentimes it's muted by our friends and
family members. At 5 am staring into that mirror is usually when the bird
whispers the clearest. The only problem then is if you don't hear it because
you're not listening.
Just a Thought, Gus
