During the recent disturbance that swept London, there are trends which could be observed.
Most bookshops appeared to be largely unaffected by the rioting that swept across London and other cities. Books have tended to stay safely on their shelves. High-street chains such as Waterstone's and WH Smith, as well as smaller independent bookstores, were reportedly spared during the violence. However there are bookstores affected by the riots.

Do rioters respect reading or they simply don't care about books? the answer is obvious enough. This is a depressing sign for book stores. Would people purchase goods which is ignored while they're available for 'free'?
Through the looting, indirectly market trends could be observed. However the result is redundant since all items are virtually free. It would only indicate what goods people desire most and people's preference.
Electronics and designer clothes are preferred. Remember, obtaining goods through illegal means is one of those things that you shouldn't boast about (for obvious reasons). But that's exactly what have been done by an apparent rookie of vice.
Rookie of vice?
