Those words were actually spoken over the police band today.
The weather has been nice for the last week, so they opened the Garden Center gate. That means we have to keep a closer watch on people coming and going.
When I got back from lunch today, my coworker tells me there has been a suspicious person going in and out, in and out. The door watcher also tells me there was a black car parked outside the gate and that he saw the suspicious guy going to the car in between the out and in.
I keep and eye open but don't see anything, but after putting a grill up on a shelf, I notice a cart back on the last aisle. Inside, a 46inch Smart TV and an all-in-one desktop computer.
2 + 2 =
I notify security, they get descriptions from my coworkers and take the cart. About a hour later, I look up and see a police car outside the gate. As I approach the gate I see the black car is back and it is obviously the same car because it has a huge red Batman symbol on the back window. As I start to go back inside to notify management, I notice two carts in the back of the patio. Another TV, two computers and a bunch of other stuff. I notify security and management and wish I had some popcorn for the show.
The police have been trying to keep people from parking in the fire lane at the front of the store and I can hear the officer point out other parking places. He uses that as an excuse to run their tag and license. All the time our security manager is on the phone with the police and one of the security guys has noticed the suspicious guy and is trailing him with guess what, another computer in his cart. When the police come back with some outstanding warrants, we don't have to wait on them to shoplift any more, they are arrested and the Batmobile is taken into custody.
I don't know a lot of what happened next, only that the police asked for a total value of what was almost taken and for it to be held aside for the time being. I can't believe they would come back the same day and that they would use a car with such an easy to see and identifiable symbol on it.
