BOSTON — Looters have turned Faneuil Hall into their playground.
Seven raids. Forty pairs of designer shades. Nearly $18,000 gone.

Always the same. Mid-afternoon. Crowds of tourists. A swarm of looters walks in, scoops up racks of sunglasses, and vanishes into the cobblestone chaos.

Clerks left helpless. Tourists stunned. Cops always one step behind.

A city out of control

Shoplifting is exploding under Mayor Michelle Wu. The numbers climb every month, and Boston businesses are paying the price. Progressive policies paint petty theft as “low-level crime.” The reality? Stores gutted, workers shaken, and thieves emboldened to come back again and again.

Sunglass Hut isn’t just another chain store here — it’s a downtown shop bleeding thousands of dollars while City Hall shrugs. Employees watch racks get stripped bare in seconds, powerless to stop the loot wave.

The spree

June. A looter in stripes. Eight pairs gone.
July. A skull sweater thief. Another eight pairs.
A bearded hoodie bandit. Seven pairs.
A man in a “Holy Grail” cap. Three pairs.
August. A “JC” hoodie. Six pairs.
A royal blue Reebok looter. Eight pairs.

Different disguises. Same result. The loot pile grows.

Detectives beg for help

Police in District A-1 say the pattern is clear. The same store. The same hours. A spree without fear. They’re asking the public to step in. One photo, one call, one anonymous tip — it could finally unmask the crew bleeding Faneuil Hall dry.

Boston’s shame

Faneuil Hall is supposed to be Boston’s jewel — history, street performers, families eating chowder. Instead it’s turned into a looters’ free-for-all.

Seven strikes in two months. Forty pairs gone. Nearly $18,000 down the drain.

How many more raids before Boston clamps down? How long before Wu admits her “progressive” policies are fueling a city where looters rule the streets?
