“I got started in this business in 2016 because of my love for wigs. But recently, with all the burglaries and shoplifting, my passion has been stolen. They come in with big bags, load them up, and run out the door. I even had one girl tell me, ‘You can’t touch me. I have rights.’ You’re shoplifting at my store, and you’re telling me that you have rights?” said Evette Ingram. “You used to see teenagers shoplifting, and now I see people from all walks of life shoplifting. People from all walks of life are breaking into my stores, from young to old. It has definitely become more brazen.”
