I wonder if the Walmart in Manchester had the theft problem they are now experiencing when they were not a Super store and located in Town & Country. Does the new location next to 141 make them an easier target? Also, do any of the other stores experience the same level of thefts?

Travist - I've actually talked to the Manchester police chief about this and he said there are people out there who simply target Walmart stores and they go from store to store shoplifting. It really has nothing to do with the location, according to him.
