So here’s an idea. Target, Walgreens, etc are locking up merchandise. What if they turn those cases into Lightening powers vending machines? Pay, grab your stuff, put in basket then leave with no checkout. Solves the theft, payment, and convenience issue all in one.
Some free advice: Never buy a house at the gate/front of a neighborhood. Endless issues with the homeowners association wanting to put crap on my property.
