More and more work can be found in the booming “loss prevention industry.”
Recently laid off from a job building trailers in Elkhart, Ind., Mr. Johnson came up a dollar short at Martin’s Supermarket last month when he went to buy a $4.99 bottle of sleep medication. So, “for some stupid reason,” he tried to shoplift it and was immediately arrested.
“I was desperate, I guess,” said Mr. Johnson, 25, who said he had never been arrested before.
Hey, people are also shoplifting slog posts!:

Sleep deprivation can make you do things.
Unemployment in Elkhart county is nearing 15%. The recreational vehicle manufacturing industry, centered here, is damn near dead.
