Shoplifting is on the rise as downturn bites harder

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8444808.stm


	Quote: The BRC's research found there were almost half a million thefts - almost one a minute - something they say costs their industry £1.1bn ($1.7bn). It could be far higher as many crimes are not reported. Pessimists suggest it could even be double this reported rate.

'Pessimists'? So if you don't agree with or doubt a bunch of figures, you're a pessimist according to the BBC now?

More and more recently that site looks like it's been written by ex-Sun or Daily Mail staff...
