Keith says; I imagine some people may steal Formula to feed their babies.
Some people may steal shoes to put on their babies feet, too. Some kids at
the U of M. may steal books to advance their education, while eating out of
dumpsters. Formula is a profitable shoplifting item because of its cost and
'remarketability' . Mainly It can be resold back to corrupt store owners, and
also to cash buyers, for good money. It is, like cigarettes, lingua franca of
the streets.
