There entire career is based on stores being unwilling to risk employees by forcing a confrontation and turning stolen consumer goods into drugs.

Change the dynamic without putting people at risk. Trying to break into a business is a different sort of crime. It's one in a lot of jurisdictions you can legally shoot offenders, it's worth prosecution, it's a felony worth 5 or more years in prison.

Enforce it and this career won't make much sense anymore because it's too hard to be practical for the same reason that junkies aren't robbing banks regularly.
