(I was initially going to post this on someone else's thread but didn't want to hijack the thread)
I once 'caught' a shoplifter when I was working at Poundland. I spotted him down the health and beauty aisle stuffing his coat full of lube, condoms and painkillers. He saw me, rushed past me with his coat full saying "I ain't stole nothin'! over and over. When he got outside it all came spilling out of his coat and onto the floor. He got on his bike and rode off down the road, went round a corner and was gone. Just as I was about to pick up the products, a woman and her teenaged son came round the corner, saw the stuff on the floor, picked it up and walked off with it all...
Cue me shouting, "Excuse me, that stuff belongs to us. Could you give it back please?"
The woman turned around and said, "But we found it outside!" and then carried on walking.
I don't think the guy on the bike and these pair were related since they were going in opposite directions. I don't think they actually crossed paths, even. So there you go. One shoplifter's bad, but two lots of shoplifters in one? Horrifying.
And people wonder why I hate that town.

Firstly, they have caused trouble before and are notorious for starting fights in town, and secondly they were round the corner and gone before I could bat an eyelid.
I was trying not to let my mind go there, TYVM.
