Thieves like liquid soap in particular

Especially the Tide brand in the $20 bottles. They are roughly equivalent to $20 bills.

I'd pay $50 for a gallon of Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Peppermint Castile Liquid Soap.

You can easily resell it on the street in smaller containers, and make a big profit if you DILUTE! DILUTE! OK! [1] ALL-ONE-GOD-FAITH! [2]

I love the soap! It's worth the few extra dollars to know you're getting the pure stuff. You have to be careful about what you buy off the street in gallon jugs. [1]

Are they? Why would anyone buy stolen goods at list price?

Clearly for money laundering.

Maybe they offer door-to-door delivery service.
