Girls shoplifting for Christmas
Girls shoplifting for ChristmasGirls under age 15 in western Norway shoplift three times as much as their male counterparts according to new figures from Hordaland County police. The conclusion is based on three times as many girls under 15 being caught shoplifting compared to boys in the same age group, newspaper Bergens Tidende reports. Now with the Christmas shopping rush under way security guards and alert staff catch an average of one shoplifter per day at the Sartor shopping center in Bergen. "I think it may be connected with purchasing pressure. The girls see things they want, but don't have the money," Sartor director Mette Nora Sætre told the newspaper. The divisional leader of security firm Securitas, Kjell Inge Thorkildsen, said that nearly all of the youngsters caught react with shame, and he too blamed consumer pressure as the reason behind most of this type of shoplifting.

Maybe the reason that more girls than boys are caught is that the boys may be better at shoplifting.
Just a thought.
I think it is true everywhere (at least in the west) that girls shoplift more than boys.
Is it allowed to critize women in the West?
Oy yes in this case kender has given to us the right interpretation: men are better thieves than women, that makes politically correct the news.
