oh yeah this definitely counts against the good things about christmas :D I live in a relatively rich part of Italy where shoplifting is very rare, and if you're not wearing "suspicious" clothes (eg. clothes that might suggest that you're poor), if the store is crowded and the staff is busy and you make the anti-theft sensors ring while crossing them, they likely won't even question why they are ringing and just assume an anti-theft tag wasn't properly removed during checkout. when I was a kid I've stolen sooo many videogames this way during christmas season, my parents where just too good looking to the staff that nobody ever suspected a thing lol
