Yard Sale Clothes at Urban Outfitters. Why not just steal/share them?

Urban Outfitters selling garage sale clothes to hipsters for huge markups. (source) Good for Urban Outfitters. Dumb for Williamsburgonians.

I don’t understand why they don’t just steal the clothes from the yard sales and then drive away. If the garage sale proprietor only gets their license plate number, they can never actually ever be caught. It is impossible to prove who was driving the car, especially if you borrow someone else’s car. After all, a car license tag number is not a person, thus, you can NEVER prove who was driving the car.

Of course, if you do get caught, just say you were not “stealing,” you were “sharing.”
