    Detergent was targeted because it has appealing qualities to it and stores weren’t putting that much energy in stopping it.

    Detergent doesn’t spoil or melt like steak or chocolate.

    In some markets, it is relatively easy to flip. It was also being used as a way to launder money, since you could ship stolen detergent into Mexico to be sold in Mexico. No one was really tracking detergent shipments into Mexico.
