A study by the self-storage company Storeganise ranks Colorado seventh in the U.S. for retail theft. It should come as no surprise as a Walmart in Aurora announced earlier this month that it is closing due to retail theft. Other locations, such as Central Park in Denver, have locked up an extraordinary amount of their merchandise. Customers now must find clerks to unlock products from cases and put them in a locked box to be unlocked at checkout.

After more than two years of singularly pushing to build a downtown Philadelphia arena, the 76ers are at least entertaining the notion of building a facility in Camden, N.J.

The Garden State’s pitch comes with an offer of up to $400 million in tax credits toward an arena and mixed-use development. The 76ers’ downtown plan involves entirely private financing.
