Home Depot has been struggling with "organized retail crime," raiding its stores across the country and stealing millions of dollars worth of power tools. Thieves steal Milwaukee, DeWalt, and Bosche, among other power tools, and turn them around for quick cash on the street, pawnshops, or an online ad on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

I didn't realize power tools were a problem. I went down to Ace Hardware the other day to replace my cheap-ass and ancient Walmart drill that I can't get batteries for anymore, and all the power tools were already locked up. Same thing with power tools in my local Tractor Supply.
