It's a good thing that the police was able to catch the thieves. I heard that the store was doing its best to attract more customers. Today, J.C. Penney, the nationwide store chain, is canceling the bulk of the sales events at its stores from now on. They can manage to, because they are also decreasing all costs by 40 percent or more, permanently. Article resource: http://personalmoneynetwork.com/moneyblog/2012/01/25/jc-penney-prices/
