Guest SRA Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 So....we were in Wal-Mart the other night and I saw this dude back in the garden dept. stuffing something down his pants. It was kinda late and I guess he thought no one was watching. He happened to look over his shoulder when he was done, and there I was:D I pretended like I wasn't going to do anything and continued looking around. Just as he went around the corner a Wal-Mart girl stopped and asked if we needed any help. I said, "No, but you better check out the guy around the corner, he's stuffing things in his pants." She followed him, and a little while later came back and thanked me. He had a DVD player jammed in his pants. What a tool. I was proud of myself.

Guest Andrea Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Funny..........when I worked there right after I graduated high school...we weren't allowed to "bust" anyone for shoplifting. We had to notify a manager then they had to witness the theft. How stupid is that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I wish more people would report retail theft... The one's stealing aren't just ripping off the store and it's employee's,, they are ripping you the consumer off as well ... I catch and detain atleast 1 shoplifter a day ... :mad: KUDO's to you SRA .... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Actually not stupid at all. Its for your safety as well as YOU and the company not getting sued. Let me re-phrase........................ Unless the manager witnessed the actual theft, the shoplifter could get away with it. Many a thief got away with stolen goods simply because I was the one who saw it happen, not a manager. My word wasn't good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWiggely Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Been there done that. I was washing my hands in the bathroom when a young fellow came in with 3 or 4 dvd's and started jamming them in his britches. I grabbed the kid and walked him to the customer service area and made him confess.LOL Should have see the look on his fathers face when he showed up. Im sure this young fella didn't feel so well. lol His father just smiled at me and said thankyou very much, I'll take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaDeerHunter Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 That is definetaly a job well done SRA. I know a few people that shoplift at our local walmart, They steal DVDS, CDS, portable DVD Players, phone chargers, and other stuf like that. I would turn any of them in if I got the chance, but without any proof it is hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Great you turned him in and he got caught Scott. Funny..........when I worked there right after I graduated high school...we weren't allowed to "bust" anyone for shoplifting. We had to notify a manager then they had to witness the theft. How stupid is that?? That is pretty screwy Andrea. With all the cams in wal mart nowadays, surely they could find these persons who do this type of thing and provide proof.

Guest Andrea Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 What I don't understand is how do these people think they can get away with it at Wal-Mart these days anyway?? Everything in the store that has to do with electronics or is expensive is marked and if you go thru the door without paying for it, it sets off an alarm. ( At our store anyway) Back when I worked there, they didn't have that technology. ( 1991-92) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Good job. I saw a couple undercover guys chasing a guy through a paking lot not too long ago. I figured he was caught shoplifting. Don't know if they caught him or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
