Stokies have been warned that with the city's branch of BHS to close soon, there won't be many more chances to shoplift from the store.
"I first stole from BHS in the 1930s," Stoke centenarian Frank Jobs remembers. "I had no interest in stealing from anywhere else, it's like a tradition round here."
Such is the widespread nature of stealing from the store, stealing something or getting it for free in the city has become known as "paying the BHS price".
"Maybe everyone just stealing stuff from BHS instead of paying for it is why they're going out of business," retail expert Rebecca Gingle said. "Just putting the idea out there."
