Now here’s a trend I hope doesn’t catch on. A reader sent me a link to a story about a group of about 10 teenagers who ran into a Nordstrom store in Oregon, snatched clothes off the racks and fled. A similar incident occurred there at a convenience store, The Oregonian newspaper reported, and ABC News says 30-40 teens ransacked an Albertson’s last week. Some are calling it a “flash rob.” Read The Oregonian’s story here.
