$150,000 dollars in perfume....Wow!

I'm glad it happened on the east side...the prevailing winds will keep it there.

One of our son-in-laws, who is a store designer for Ulta, says their store designs are being modified to combat this. He said the losses are worrying. The good stuff is going under lock and Key.

^^^ I wonder who would buy designer perfumes from a gal like one of these?
Why do they pick perfumes to steal?

A lot of people. The high end brands are marketed towards lower social economic classes to emulate the elite. Plus in Detroit some are known within the neighborhood to be able to provide certain products..... let alone online markets

I guess there is always a market out there for everything.
Glad it's not in my area.

From the Urban Dictionary.....

ratchet
A ghetto girl who is loud and obnoxious and constantly causing drama and usually trashy.
A ratchet girl would wear a sweat suit and talk like this: " o hell naw i know that ***** was not talking to my man I finna beat her ass, ooo she is so fake."

Usually insinuates ethnicity.


I don't care personally, but all it takes is one person.

My experience in buying perfume is matched in my experience in buying Patek Philippe watches or Plutonium.

It must be some stupid expensive stinky stuff to be possible for a human female to carry $150,000 in the stuff.

As a kid my mom got the Neiman Marcus catalog to see the crazy stuff the sold. Every year they had some insane Christmas gift that was just a promotional gag most of all. One year I remember was a million gallons of some perfume. Bulk buying gone to extremes. An Olympic size pool is 660,430 gallons. So enough to fill one, and have enough left for a regular pool.

Kinda like offering a Harrier Jet for Pepsi purchase points.
