I read a news story somewhere a couple months ago that gum was used in some explosives, now we hear that it's being stolen in bulk.

Bad omen that is.

Maybe it's not resales they are interested in but the scenario of shoplifting something innocent as gum could cover a world of other things more nefarious.

If they catch the gum thief, can they make the charges stick? Chew on that, America.
