Recession Busting Sales

the title of the documentary me and my group will produce is Recession busting sales. the angle we intend to take on this is going to be the increase in middle class shoplifting. stealing not to survive, but to maintain a good quality of life with less money. statistics show that shoplifting has increased 20% in the last year and it is believed that this is largely down to the middle class population stealing products such as ipods or even luxury food items to keep up appearances. in my research i found many related articles with headlines such as confessions of a brazen middle class shoplifter and the rise of the middle class shoplifter.

Remember, these are not just any shoplifters, they are M n S shoplifters.
