Thing is all Gillette / Wilkinson Sword blades are red hot items as they are grafted in bulk numbers by all the shop hoisters. I know people who both nick em and people who buy em from the people that nicked em.
They then sell 'em on for a profit to their work mates etc - I even know someone who buys them to then sell on Ebay for a big profit. The problem is they cost so much brand new that its no wonder they attract thieves as they are infinetely pocketable.
I can remember a local supermarket decided to move them to the checkouts thinking this would deter theives, all it meant was they'd made them easier to steal as people are always preoccupied at the checkouts unloading trollies, getting out their wallets / purses etc and the staff are too busy scanning items. So the lads I knew who were hoisting them has a field day for months, they would go out in a car and hit supermarkets all over the north of England and make £1000's everyday.
I reckon there will be a lot of ⊗⊗⊗⊗ about too, I've seen them for sale at car boot sales along with snide colgate toothpaste etc.
