Fecking choas today at work.Two guys tried to steal a toy car that was worth just £8.So anothe worker trys to stop them, manages to stop one but the other pushed pass him. The other shopworker was blocking off the door, so the guy who got away pushed over him knocking him to the floor, hitting his head and back hard on the concreet. And I've been at the police station for the last 2 hours giving a statement about it.
So for the sake of some idiot whot ried to steal a £8 car. One worker is in hopspital on a spinal board, and me and another worked spent 2 hours at a police station.
At least Police caught the guy who ran, so both have been arested and the worked who was at the hospital is alright but on the spinal board just incase.
So have you ever seen anyone shoplift?

My wife operates a gas station. One time, and eight year old kid tried to book it out with 2 sodas. He tried running through the back door, so my wife ran out the front, grabbed his bike, and locked it in the office. Police confiscated it as stolen property, and after a year, no one claimed it, so they handed it over to us.
Kid got some Cokes, at the expense of his mountain bike.

When I used to work in PacSun about 5 years ago, I saw this shady looking lady that didn't belong in the store walking around with a big Abercrombie bag. The thing is...there's no A&F in this mall. So I let her make her way around the store a little, then decide to move in. She set the bag down next to her as she pretended to "shop" I could see sensors in the bag from the top. I ask her if she needs help and she immediately goes for the bag. What she didn't see is I had my foot sitting on the bottom of the bag, so when she picked it up, the bottom tore open and a pooload of merchandise came out. She booked out of the store but security got her. Her bag had about 2k worth of merchandise from Hollister, A&E, Guess, and PacSun. What a dumb broad.

along time ago I saw some teenagers taking some stuff of the shelves and putting it in their jackets, I couldn't do anything because I was like 5 at the time.
I've seen a few people get assraped at the mall aswell by security, never saw them steal anything but I can't see any other reason why they'd be running through a crowded place wearing a padded jacket.

I work at Wal-mart and get quite a few. On Black friday we had a guy take a PS3 and a copy of hackcock from the Electronics department from a clerk when they handed it to him. He bolted to the door and the detectors went off and he kept panicking and ran, the Electronics called security before he even got up there so they were there waiting and lunged on him and he started resisting. One guard had a black eye and the guy broke his jaw.
Side note, whenever you hear "Department 50" over the intercom, thats Walmart security going to deal with a shoplifter.

Also, a friend worked at our Big! Lots here in my town, it's VERY well known they only have one camera, at the very front of the store, this place gets stolen from all the damn time. I don't remember when it was, but inventory came up, and they counted two and a half trucks of missing (stolen) merchandise.

I remember this one time at Media Play (a defunct chain around here, bought by FYE) I was at the register paying for my carefully selected items, and there was this guy walking up to the exits. I could tell he had CDs stuffed in his coat. He walks to the doors, leans on the door, the sensors blow, and he runs. This is all while associates were trailing him. The manager went up and said to call the cops, but I'm sure he got away. Once they exit the store it's pretty much over. They deserved it for not stopping him sooner. I do know that some stores have stringent policies on just how far an associate can go. I know at TRU if they don't know where on the person the item is, they cannot do anything, and they cannot forcibly detain anyone. They also can do nothing once a shoplifter exits to the foyer.

I was in Walmart with my friends, just a few days ago, actually.
Then all of a sudden, a woman and her two kids came bursting through the toys aisle, even shoving my friend Sean down and shoving me into an aisle of mountain bikes. All of a sudden, one of her kids suddenly bursts out, "Mom you almost got busted!"...right in front of two Walmart workers. She tried running the opposite direction towards us, so we quickly grabbed her by the arms so the workers could get her. Turns out she stole Barbies and a few WWE figs, including two or three 1/500s.
For helping get her, we got the 1/500s. So, we were happy.

Two nights ago, my housemate asked me if I could drive him to 7-11. I was with one of my friends from home and he was with this girl he is seeing. Me and my friend go get a slurpy and they go to get snacks. As we are getting in the car, the guy comes out and stares us down, and the girl yells for me to drive away. Turns out she stole a whole lot of crapwhile we were getting slurpys. I was pissed and told her off, calling her a scumbag and telling her to get a ing job, especially since I was the one who would get in trouble since he could have taken my plates down and shit.

People do it at my work all the time, one guy tried to steal almost 300 dollars worth of DVDs. Guy i work with chased him to the parking lot and kicked him in the leg in the middle of a snow storm. The guy ditched the videos in the parking lot and ran off. Funniest story, i would have liked to seen the security tape.

Being a security guard, I've seen some pretty funny shoplifters in my time. There was this one lady who came into a gas station that I had worked for a couple years. You could just tell she was looking for something. I make my rounds and as I was coming around the corner, she nearly sent me flying trying to bust a run. The only thing I can remember besides managing to get her corralled was that a bag of Peanut Butter Ritz crackers busted open and went flying everywhere. She was trying to stuff them in her mouth and keep on running! I couldn't stop laughing as I pulled her into this little booth we have. It was so damn surreal.
This other time, a couple of guys came in to the same said truck stop. I went to work on some paper work and I heard "SECURITY!!!!" All of a sudden, the two guys tried to bust a big run across the truck stop to their car, but one of them didn't make it. It was then I found out what he stole when I caught up to him: He apparently had to huge forty ounces of liquor, when he tripped up, the bottle busted directly on the ground where he fell, face first, and slashed him all up! We had to call an ambulance and everything. It was crazy, he lost so much blood.
