In the past few months the thefts of Tide laundry detergent have become so high in some places they have had to form task forces to stop people. The police are finding that these criminals are stealing the detergent from the shelves in order to sell it on the black market for drugs. The detergent is said to sell on the market for between 10-20 dollars and is a relatively easy thing to steal. The police are looking into why Tide is being targeted as opposed to other brands of detergent, but they are finding that the reasoning is its one of the most popular making it worth more, and it contains no serial numbers. There has been much uproar in the media about this, with people saying its a "result of inflation" or caused due to the raise in gas prices. Either way you look at it stealing is wrong, and its been found to be sold for drug money, making it worse.
