...it never is, in these stories:
A shopper was left shocked when he discovered that £1 protein bars had been locked in security boxes in Tesco. The security boxes were spotted in the Gilesgate Tesco Extra in County Durham on Boxing Day by customer Andrei Lespezeanu.
He spotted the MyProtein and Dynabars goods under lock and key, despite costing between £1 and £2.50.
It's the relative ease of the theft itself, and the resale value/opportunity.
'I am confused why the store has felt the need to do this since there are other items in the store worth more that don't have security tags or boxes.'
Keep thinking, Andrei...
'The only explanation for this that I can come up with is that people are prone to stealing these cereal and protein bars.'
By George, I think he's got it!

Why not ask them? Why go to the papers? (Although without reading the story, I'm assuming he didn't go to the papers, but 'Took to Tik Tok', or Facebook. And the papers picked it up from there)
‘Prone to’ is an interestingly passive description of the decision to commit a criminal act, albeit one entirely in keeping with today’s victimhood Zeitgeist
Among his friends he must be known as Einstein.
"Why not ask them?"
Someone needs their 15 minutes of fame. As Andy promised!
"...an interestingly passive description of the decision to commit a criminal act..."
Indeed! Language is important.
