Confessions of New Jersey shoplifters

We talked on the air today about a strange phenomenon in some New Jersey retail stores, where they lock up the Dove soap and body wash. Yes, Dove soap! Apparently it's a hot, trade-able commodity on the black market. The national stats on people who've shoplifted is about 1 in 11 persons. Anecdotally it seems to be higher in Jersey.
