"Hello. This is the Chief of Police. I'm reaching out to you to complain about criminal activity that I, the Chief of Police, am incapable of solving. Instead of calling the local store manager on the phone and working collaboratively on creative solutions, I've decided to use my time and resources to write a lengthy word salad letter to corporate, victim blaming you, to solve this crime problem that I, the Chief of Police, can't solve. Sincerely, the Chief of Police."

I believe the manager of this store has been contacted multiple times by the police and others.

It is about time. I suspect the police resources are already stretched and the store not cooperating was not helping. If kids are stealing liquor, put it behind glass such as they do with the expensive stuff.
