Reminds me of the time I was working in a Radio Shack just before the second (Rodney King) LA riots. In a neighborhood in Long Beach where our store had the only signage in English for several blocks. We did a total line-item inventory and Headquarters lost the file. We did it again a month later and found we had 10 (ten) 10% shrinkage. Ten percent of the total value of our inventory had evaporated from the shelves. A month later a big dude tried to walk out with a color TV we (now( had wired to its' shelf. He threatened to kill us if we called the cops. He spit on the Manager and ran out of the store. I quit then. A week later the shop was stripped to the walls during the riot. A nearby big bike shop lost about 500 bikes, 100 of them were customers' bikes in for repairs.
