  • Caught a Shoplifter

    yup!!!!!!!

    so today i go in at 4 and am told by the manager shes leaving at 6. great ANOTHER 2 person night.

    anywho the daily drivers ed rush comes in, tons of kids come in and buy drinks. my coworker calls me up to help ring and then tells me to watch some guy in one of the aisles. i go into that aisle and he goes away to another. i tell my cw im going upstairs to watch him on camera instead. i go up there and hes gone already.

    damn

    so i replay the recent video and see him walk out the back door with one of our baskets full of crap. i check what aisles he was in and what he mightve taken. i call the cops and give them a description of the guy as best i could and they said theyd be there in a few minutes.

    cops show up and one tells me they have a guy just down the street and they need me to ID him. unfortunately i had to lave my coworker alone, but under the circumstances i went...or else they would just release him.

    so i got to ride front seat in the cruiser (with a cute cop btw ) and not even like a block away they have a guy. they ask me "is that him?" he didnt have the jacket or hat on and i tell them, well he had those. turns out he took em off but still had them and once he put them on I KNEW it was him. so they brought me back to the store and they took statements

    over $300 worth of Tylenol, Motrin, Pepto-Bismol, and Right Guard Deodarant. and we got our basket back lol. usually these idiots have a car waiting for them, he just took off on foot, and i guess was going to wait for the bus...since they had him at the bus stop for me to ID him LOL

    good stuff. i was nervous the whole time. ive never had to do that before...crazyyy

    Yay for catching him!

    Why steal that much Tylenol and mMotrin? Can you make (other) drugs from that? Maybe he was planning on selling it on the street...

      i called 3 stores of our in the area in case he tried to steal or return the items there for money. my guess he was gonna try to resell it, or return it further away

        Great job!!!

        As an LP person myself, I see people trying to steal over the counter pain medication quite a bit. At first, I couldn't understand why, seeing as how the "good" stuff, with pseudoephedrine, is secured where customers can't get to and each purchase is closely monitored.

        Then, as previously mentioned, I figured they re-sell it on the street.

          Considering some of the weird ingredients that go into some of the nastier street drugs like crystal meth, I wouldn't at all be surprised if you could work out a way to get high with two bottles of Tylenol and a can of Right Guard. Every time I see a new recipe on the Internet, I have to wonder who in the world came up with it. Do they just go around rubbing random things in their house together until they come up with a combination that works?

          "Okay, I'll need two empty paper towel tubes, a cigarette lighter, a shrimp fork, two cell phones, half a cup of unpopped Orville Redenbacher popcorn, five house keys from different homes, the engine block from a 1963 De Soto, a 16-oz jar of Vlasic pickles, a videotape of Joan Benoit winning the 1984 Olympic marathon, and three rolls of Certs..."

                  I'm with sarasquirrel. sounds like it was either going to be black market resell, or return scams.

                    I'd say the majority of these published recipies are pure BS, and this one is no exception. Good luck finding the ingredients - especially since 1961 was the last model year (and much abbreviated - Chrysler "pulled the plug" on November 29, 1960) for DeSoto.

                        Don't even try wondering what he was doing with that.

                        People steal the weirdest things. Someone at the gas station completely destroyed the toilet paper fixture off the wall just to steal the rolls of TP.

                            I think a quick type of "shoplifting" into the search function should provide the answer for the weirdest things stolen.

                            Only thing I can recall was a hot chicken wing. THAT had us in stitches.
