If you’ve been arrested for petty theft in Los Angeles – due to shoplifting, stealing an item from work, or something along those lines, you are probably pretty frightened about what’s going to happen to you. How will you deal with the fallout, such as jail time, mandatory restitution, a criminal record? What will you do if you face deeper legal complications — e.g. if you have a prior record and/or if the Los Angeles petty theft was done in conjunction with other crimes, such as hit and run, robbery, sexual assault, etcetera?
Solutions to your problems – as well as solutions to the general problem of theft crime in our society – may be simpler than you and many other people have been led to believe.
Enter a very interesting innovation called the “anti-theft lunch bag.” Engineered by two designers named Sherwood and Mihoko, these bags look like normal zip lock sandwich bags. But they’re colored to look moldy and disgusting. The idea is: put your sandwich in one of these bags, and it looks like the food has rotted through or covered with mold. Hence, you deter employee lunchroom “lunch thieves.”
