Daniel Jackson, 35, was arraigned Saturday in 52-1 District Court in Novi via videoconference on a felony charge of receiving and concealing stolen property worth more than $1,000 but less than $20,000, Wixom police said.
Wixom police said officers had a known serial retail fraud suspect under surveillance at 10:30 a.m. Thursday after they received a tip he planned to strike at a Meijer store. […] According to the tip, the suspect planned to steal a large quantity of trading cards from the store.
After consulting with the store’s loss prevention officers [emphasis mine – r2 ], detectives estimated the value of the stolen property was more than $18,000 [again, emphasis mine ].
Loss prevention officers? Does that mean what I think that means?

loss prevention officer = someone that works in the security department. what’s the question?
I’m guessing he was using a Stargate?
It doesn’t mention how he was stealing the cards. Presumably he would ask to look at one and then ask about another to distract while pocketing the first?
I assumed he was just stealing them from stores. I recently tried to buy some pokemans for a gift and the clerk not only had them behind the register but in a lockbox.
Yeah it was around 2014ish when it got bad in Macomb county at least. You used to have to go to the toy/board game aisles for them but they’ve all since moved trading card stuff to the front of the store in most big box places now. (Meijer/Target/Wal-mart)
Teal’c is disappointed.
A loss prevention officer works for a casino. They sneak the dealer an extra card to make sure the house always wins
