Last winter, George Washington University sent out an alert about a string of Canada Goose jacket thefts and robberies that are continuing to plague the area.
Josh Rosenthal for Fox5 Washington D.C.:
“It is something I have to think about, just putting my jacket on,” American University student Meera Hajarnis said. That’s because she was wearing a Canada Goose jacket, which has become a target for thieves.
“I know [George Washington University], Georgetown, same issue where a lot of people are just stealing these jackets out of locker rooms, classrooms,” Hajarnis said.
In at least one instance, they’re stealing them at gunpoint too.
Police said three suspects hopped out of a car, pointed guns, and demanded a victim’s Canada Goose jacket just a few blocks from Dupont Circle on Tuesday night.
Thursday, FOX 5 asked D.C. police if they had any advice.
“AirTags,” said Commander Sylvan Altieri. “I’ve seen people use them on tool kits, suitcases, I think that’s probably the best thing you can do as far as if it gets taken, because it’s a nice way to track it.”
MacDailyNews Take: You know what really deters thieves? The threat of arrest and harsh penalties for theft. Duh. And, yes, AirTags are awesome.

Grammar isn’t safe in your hands. 🙄
Maybe Sam isn’t a native English speaker. Yes, there is a grammar error, but the meaning is extremely clear.
Beahahaha. Sad little man
Yes, I am sad that libturd are a cancerous parasite on this country
If our educational system and social services were better, people wouldn’t need to steal.
If by ‘better’ you mean required more men to work and single women to use birth control instead of skating by on minimum subsistence which they augment with crime, then I am with you.
First thing you do to jump start this is stop the flow of illegal immigrants. Some say no one will do these jobs for that pay? If that were allowed, then supply in demand requires the price of such work to go up. If the supply of workers are cheap, so is the pay.
If you think MORE money should be given to lazy* people, then I am not with you at all.
for those of you too woke to understand English, ‘lazy’ is not a term used for disabled people, rather for those who choose to suck off the work of others, whatever that may mean….
