An upscale boutique in Los Angeles has attracted positive attention for its bold approach to shaming shoplifters. Kitson, located in the Beverly Grove neighborhood, has received praise for publicly displaying the names and faces of individuals caught stealing from the store. The owner, Fraser Ross, shared a video featuring images of suspected thieves on social media, alongside security camera footage of them committing theft. Ross, known for his outspoken views against progressive policies, emphasized holding thieves accountable by exposing them to their community.
Despite being a favorite among celebrities like Paris Hilton and the Kardashian sisters, Kitson remains true to its anti-establishment ethos. In the past, the store has humorously mocked public figures and banned mask-wearing due to concerns about shoplifting. Ross’s critical stance extends to local politicians, as seen in his recent comments regarding a break-in at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s home.
Ross’s unapologetic approach has sparked both admiration and controversy, but the boutique continues to stand out for its bold and unconventional methods of addressing crime and social issues.
