Quoth Polenicus View PostBecause for theft below $5,000 and minors involved, it's really not worth it. The cops would come... after 2-3 hours... maybe (Seriously low priority call), toss them in the squad car, and drive them home, if that far. At most they'd be remanded to the custody of their parents. If for some reason it DID go to court, the court costs would cost more than what the kids had taken.
Given that the stolen property was recovered, nothing would happen. For the level of crime, banning is really the strongest they could manage, though it was a nice touch that they banned the mother too.Quoth Nyoibo View PostAnd this is why kids have no respect for the law or people in authority."Lady, people aren't chocolates.

Quoth bainsidhe View PostScrew it, I'm a vindictive ass. I still would've called the cops, especially once mummy refused to acknowledge little pweshus of doing any wrong. Can parents be sued for loss of funds??I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

Tough shit...I'm told that I can't go through life by beating people to death while wearing a Daffy Duck costume. We all make these little sacrifices to society...live with it!
Quoth RetailWorkhorse View PostI have a German/Polish heritage, think about how that makes me feel.
Quoth Elevator View PostThe reason we didn't call the cops is:
*snip*
2. One of the kids was crying.
*snip*
4. They begged us not to.
5. I got caught stealing some crap when I was a kid and was busted so badly that I never stole anything again. I think having them go through the whole ordeal with police who really have better stuff to do probably wouldn't have helped them any in learning a lesson.
And I can understand wanting to cut the kids a bit of a break and hoping to "scare them" straight - without calling the cops; I just hope it works out that way. I would just worry that the only lesson they'll take from this experience is that some crying and mommy will bail them out of any future problems.Be a winner today: Pick a fight with a 4 year old.

Quoth Alpha Strike View PostSo color me confused but why did having one of the little criminals cry factor into whether or not you called the cops?

It's kind of a double-edged sword with calling the cops. I understand that kids need to learn a lesson, but we made it very clear the repercussions of their actions had we chosen to call the police, and their mom quite visibly made it clear her feelings regarding the matter. We probably could've called the police on her, the way she was smacking her kid around in the back of her car.The only thing great about working tech support is that it's not customer service.

Quoth otakuneko View PostWait wait wait....
.....Tech support ranks above movie theater work?
Maybe I'm glad I never did seriously pursue the idea of working at The Grand.
my boss at times could be a real hardass over a laid back job.The only thing great about working tech support is that it's not customer service.
