Well I hate to stereotype, but I doubt the owners have exactly good security.
Honestly when some cards and sealed products are worth house deposits and there is no real way to mark the card for ownership then they will continue to become targets.
Stop paying daft money for bits of cardboard and we wouldn’t have this problem
This happened just a couple of weeks ago in Nottingham, those cards are worth fuck loads and they are just held behind a couple of sheets of glass. They have since installed a massive metal shutter:

Kids were getting robbed at knifepoint for these things when I was in primary school around 2000ish. I think you could sell the shiny charizards for fifty quid back then. Crazy how much money those same cards sell for now
Part of this is on the producers – I used to collect these once upon a time and then it got absolutely miserable finding them about a year ago when they did that prismatic eevee set and some moron speculated all the tera eeveelutions would be worth big money off the premise off that „moonbreon“ card the previous eevee expansion which goes for like 500 quid.
Consequently Argos no stock, Waterstones nearly always out, Smyths usually out, and eBay and amazon grifters selling them for 3x the price. The only place i see them with any frequency is Forbidden Planet.
They just don’t make the stock and it sucks.
