Thefts on Black Friday are on average 2% higher than on any other Friday, or any day of the year, for that matter, according to analysis of theft claims by insurance company Travelers (via Fortune) over the past seven years.
You’ll want to make sure you’re extra careful with your purchases on that day as you stow your booty in your car parked in the mall parking lot: when those claims are broken down to look at off-premise thefts, which means the incidents happened away from home, Black Friday thefts are 28% higher than on any other day.
“On Black Friday, thieves are just much more focused on the opportunity than on a regular basis,” Patrick Gee, senior vice president at Travelers, told Fortune.

Too bad they aren't focused on getting at least a seasonal job, instead of "self-service gimmes".
Who would hire them??
They get freebies so they have all day to sleep and at night sell drugs and steal.
Plan on avoiding it like the plague! Since I no longer make as much money as I used to in the past, I no longer have this luxury of disposable income!
