I think 3 of my friends used to shoplift i don't know if they still do it, I stop hanging out with like 5 years ago, It funny because one time we went inside the deli store and since I wasn't going to buy anything I got out and waited for them and I took my sweater off and when won of them came out he though that I was covering something with my sweater, and actually took my sweater away to see if I had stolen something I was like i'm not going to still a 25 cents juice and potatoe chips

One time a few years back I was sitting on a bench at the mall and a well dressed black guy in a trenchcoat sat next to me. He didn't say anything but he kept like rocking back and forth slightly with his hands folded in front of him and his elbows on his knees, looked like he was trying to control his breathing, take a few big gulps of air in and steady his nerves or something. Anyway after a minute or two he gets up and calmly walks into the Gymboree kid's clothing store. About 5 minutes later I hear alarm bells going off and the guy comes BLASTING out of the store with a ton of baby clothes under each arm just booking like hot crapout of there with two mall security guards plowing after him. All three of them just kept on running right out into the parking lot past where I could see any further. I kinda just sat there slack jawed. Only time I'd really ever witnessed a shoplifter.
I worked in retail for about a year and a half and was constantly on the lookout for the bandit of the week...usually it was women stealing baby formula to resell to mom and pop stores for some reason, but I never saw it happen. I did foil some attempts at fraud when I would work a cashier shift or something but it was usually dumbass suburbanites who would feign stupidity when they got figured out and wouldn't make a mad dash for the door or anything. I wish one of them would have though, just once so I could tackle em at the knees.

I maintain the huge cooler in the market that I work in( the huge wall fridge that they keep the sodas and stuff in.) It's so fun to watch people steal things through the glass and snitching via radio headset.
Once this lady left her keys in her car while it was running. She came in quick to pay for some gas. She says "can I get 10 dollars on pump 12?" I say "maam, there's no car on pump 12." She turns around to see her car speeding from the parking lot and also proceeds to freak out.

Yep, few weeks ago I made an thread about what will you do? Because I saw boy stolen bag of sweet from the shop, even I’m witness. I doing nothing, because that wasn’t my business. And at work, I caught one young person trying to sell the copier DVD (Pirated). I asked him hand it to me, and report my manager, he says up to me if I want to report police, so I decided I didn’t report to police, but I did report to his parent. (You would understand that if your youth worker) and especially for me, because I am senior youth worker which was huge responsibility for this situation. Copier the DVD and sell it, that is actual “Thief”. For any one who doesn’t think that is stealing.: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=K_vHwfDNGdg&feature=related

I'm a supervisor at Kohls and the other night I got a call from our LP (loss prevention) super.. He asked if I wanted to help make a stop. Of course I obliged and met him in his office where we watched the guy stuff his jacket with a couple belts and shirts. Then we booked it through the store and caught him in the parking lot. It's amazing how dumb some people are when confronted: LP: "C'mon man.. just give me the stuff you took. I know you have it, I have footage of you taking it." Shoplifter: "Well what're you lookin for...? I'll see if I can get it for you.."
SERIOUSLY??? haha the guy was a dumbass. We got him though, so all's well.

I have worked in retail for 5 years so I have seen it all...
Most of the time people will just get a storage container and put it in a basket then go over to electron and fill up on blurays, dvds and games then put the lid on the top and walk out.
Have also seen people stuff things inside the resealable dog food bags.
People go out in the parking lot and look around to see if people have thrown their receipt away then get the receipt and take it and look for the same items then take them up to the service desk and return them.
People hiding items under there baby who is in the stroller
So many things I have seen.

My grandfather. He was going through a bad time, but as far as money he had plenty, but shoplifting I guess was giving him excitement in life.
Me and my parents already knew what he was doing because he told us, also saw him in a shop doing it.
He was slick about, taking off his old farmers/old man hat and replacing with a band new one, and actually going to the till to pay for some things, with the stolen hat on his head. He also would just put frying pans and stuff in his bag and walk out. He would cut the security tags off with a knife.
Though he does have a lot of good ideas (stealing not being one) he always takes it too far, or just isn't careful, and he ended up getting arrested, and after all the months and things he stole, he was finally caught stealing nail paint, which wasn't for his own use as far as I know.

Never actually seen it...yet. Closest I came was earlier this year. This younger girl came up to my register and brought up one movie. She was with two other young unkempt looking teens. She paid for her one rental but as I was checking her out (ZING!) the guys she was with were still in our shelving section where the older films are at. She left, they left, and my manager and I went through 4-5 movies that left along with them...without the case.

I cant even count the times. Im the shoe supervisor at kohls, and every day i find atleast 1 pair of someones old shoes in a shoe box, they just switch them out when no one is looking, but our Loss Prevention Office (security) is right by shoes and the closest doors so its rare they get away with it. Hell, we've had people load up carts, then push them out the emergency exits and had a car waiting for them to load the crapup and drive off, and people load up shopping bags and walk out the main doors. What I hate is that only the LP or Store Manager can attempt to stop them, I just have to sit there and watch someone run out the doors, I cant chase or attempt to grab the bags and what not.

Similarites between Hexus and Spiderman. Peter Parker was a indie wrestler, just like Hexus. Both let people get away with stealing because it wasn't their business. Luckily no one Hexus knew died because of his actions, but think about what could have been. HEX MAN!!!!! Back on topic, I worked for Walgreens, and this guy tried to jack a radio, and he ran really fast. Faster than the sliding door at the front of our store. Knocked himself out. The police showed up right as he was coming too because we were five minutes away from the police station.

this reminds me of a moment i'd like to forget out of embarrassment but i'll share anyway.
i was with my friend and we had just eaten at a pizza place and i had bought a soda for the road. he decided he wanted to go into walgreens and me, being an authority fearing 13 year old, decided to put my soda bottle either in my pocket or discreetly under my shirt, as I did not want them to think the soda i was carrying around was stolen. yes, i now realize how dumb that logic was. push comes to shove one of the ladies says she knows im hiding something and i pull the soda out and explain the situation, how i bought it at the pizza place and didn't want them to think i was shopplifting. despite rationally explaining this she continued to act bitchy and insisted that she didn't believe me. eventually she let me go but warned that she was going to count the bottles later. dumb whore.

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. The Wal-Mart I work at is full of **** managers who are too afraid to confront a shoplifter, so 95% of the time you can get away at this store. Even if you see the person shoplifting, you can't stop them and confront them about it...you have to ask them if they need help and then let then leave. I saw a guy at a Target bolt for the door with a load of dvd's but he pretty much got speared and dvd's went flying.
