NYC drug store has put $3.99 tins of SPAM in theft-proof cases

With robberies up nearly 40 percent in , it's perhaps no surprise that a local pharmacy has taken the extreme steps of locking up cases of Spam.

user Willy Staley noticed the tins of $3.99 processed meat sealed in a theft-proof plastic container at the Duane Reade inside the Port Authority bus depot in Midtown Manhattan - known as one of New York's grimiest areas.

Staley also found a $3.49 tin of Celebrity ham, which retails for a similar price, protected with the same measure.
