Leftists know that as a retail business' shrinkage (in-store losses) grow, the business will be forced to raise prices on their goods to offset the loss. In a real sense, local governments, through the private sector, are "taxing" honest, working people so that the "poor" can get their free goods. All the local governments have to do is turn a blind eye to retail theft and this will guarantee higher prices for the honest shoppers.

It's also a form of "reparations".
