I live overseas, but have noticed razor blades locked behind glass in the States. Why are they so high on the shoplifting list?

Why razor blades so popular?

Thanks. I took one look, saw it was a slideshow with no "view all" option and closed the tab.

I can understand the infant formula, its price has gone up way over inflation over the years. It used to be reasonable in price, but I recall just how much its price jumped in just the couple years between my two sons' births. That was 20+ years ago, it never stopped increasing in price.

You guys are kidding, aren't you? If not, you should watch more crime shows on TV. Razor blades used a lot by drug addicts for divvying up the white powder somebody scored. These people need to save every penny they can for the good stuff, so they sure don't want to have to pay for razor blades.

Ok. So we don't watch TV often enough

Meat? I would never have thought of that one.

A Wii seems like it would be hard to hide, but I guess with a big coat on the right person, it could be done.

Personally, if I were going to cut some cocaine, I would be stealing the single edged razor blades at Lowes or HD. I can just imagine a lot of blood with the old fashioned ones. With all the multi-bladed varieties, I didn't even realize they still made the old one-edge-on-each-side ones.
