Stumbled into a news story: Fire at Fred Meyer

Post by SamSpade »

I just drove up to the Oak Grove Fred Meyer and it's blocked off with carts at each entrance & only one small way in and out! :ugeek:
Apparently someone set a fire in the home department: http://www.kptv.com/story/37640087/crew ... s-reported

From past experience at a Super Kmart I used to worked at, it's not uncommon for more ambitious shoplifters to set these fires as a distraction while they loot high-value items from the store. I'm fairly certain this is the case here too.
