For holiday shoppers, those brand-name purses and clothes that go for $400 at a department store may seem like a bargain when peddled as $40 knockoffs on the street - but they take billions of dollars out of the economy and cost thousands of jobs, authorities said Tuesday in vowing a crackdown on counterfeiters.

Maybe they aren't haute couture, and maybe you won't ever see the stars of Desperate Housewives wearing them on the red carpet. But they look great, they're new (did we already mention that?) and they don't cost an arm and a foot. Only you will know they aren...
Agnieszka Kuszynska has been picking up "little things" all year to send to her family in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Eventually, she filled six large boxes with towels, cosmetics, blankets, shoes, brand-name clothes and purses for her mother, sister and father.

Sitting in New Jersey's vast warehouses are millions of dollars worth of products prized by thieves -- electronics, prescription drugs and jewelry. February's brazen daytime heist at a Carlstadt warehouse -- in which gun-wielding bandits tied up 11 workers and made off with $1 million in perfume and fragrances -- highlighted threats facing the "supply chain" that gets products from factories to store shelves.
