U.S. Police nationwide take on soaring Tide detergent theft
Law enforcement officials across the country are puzzled over a crime wave targeting an unlikely item: Tide laundry detergent.

Theft of Tide detergent has become so rampant that authorities from New York to Oregon are keeping tabs on the soap spree, and some cities are setting up special task forces to stop it. And retailers like CVS are taking special security precautions to lock down the liquid.

Probably eastern Europeans like the ones we get stealing bubblegum to use as currency back in thier home country.

Was talking to some friends about this.

Turns out the druggies over there are using it as currency as Tide's a national brand (recognised), expensive (so people want it cheaper if they can) and doesn't go off like other luxury items. Which is perfect for their needs.

It's like the chavs and razor blades,booze and other stuff that's tagged in the supermarket they try to sell in the pub.
