Off topic, but can't resist...are you related to the OP? I see a strong resemblance in your avatars.
On topic, Wal-Mart's here in our tri counties area are not closing. Disclaimer: I haven't shopped at Wal-Mart since Obama granted them an ACA health insurance waiver. They'll not get a dime from me.
. ACA includes a fine for failing to cover full-time workers but includes no such penalty for part-timers (defined as working less than 30 hours a week).

If it's been closed 3-4 years, why the cops and security guards?
Most Common Types of Premises Liability Cases
Dog Bites
Slip-and-Fall
Inadequate Security
Asbestos Exposure
Roadway and Sidewalk Defects
Poorly Lit Staircase
Iced Entranceway to premises
No matter the type of property or injury involved, property owners are liable for all injuries incurred due to hazards associated with their property, whether a home or business. For instance, if a property owner fails to repair a broken step on their property and a visitor falls down those stairs and suffers injury, the property owner can be held liable for the person’s medical expenses and more.

Everyone of those air conditioning units on top of those roofs have lots of copper . But the amount of money in copper pales in comparison to replacement of the units .
It is there solely for protection/security against theft .
All buildings have electrical wire and copper water pipe running through them. Commercial buildings more than most.
Thieves rip it out the walls and sell it to scrap yards. Hundreds of pounds of each in a walmart. The easiest place to break in and work on a building like that is from the roof, ergo…
I dunno really. The condensate drainpipe on the roof is even easier to get at and heavier walled bringing a higher scrap price.
Compared to the price of replacing the walls and pipe or wire, the scrap value is peanuts. But lucrative to people who don't care how they feed themselves.
Looking at it another way, Wal Mart is the evil empire, right? Screw em.
