It’s probably not worth the hassle of catching them most the time. I think you’re supposed to wait till they try and leave the premises anyway or it’s not theft. They caught some lass pinching in Iceland (the shop) near us a while back and a couple of blokes were ‘detaining’ her outside. You could hear her yelling at them from about 100 yards away, trying to get away, accusing them of touching her and all sorts.

This one was obviously used to it. It was about a 3 second gap & she was gone. Even though she's a scumbag, I admire her perseverance & patience. I just wouldn't be arsed. She didn't look like a junkie, so I would imagine she was stealing the toys for her own kids. Lucky kids having their mam go to such lengths.

What a fuckin existence.

You're quoting yourself. You're probably Fred Secrets too, nobody else would like his honking crack. You've managed to confuse yourself on a simple thread

I know a lass who works in the Boots in the local town centre, I drink in the pub round the corner from it and there's a lad comes in all the time, rough as out, 6 inch scar on his face, comes in selling the gear he's nicked from there. Get some canny bargains, aftershave, electric toothbrushes all that but the staff don't get paid enough to give a shit. Even the security guards don't

Don't care.

Are you going to apologise for the way you spoke to/about me??
 
I work in retail security. It's shite because of how politically correct you have to be nowadays.

It's not theft until you leave the store. You can have 100's of things in your pocket and walk about the store and still be classed as not committing a crime.
You actually have to see the person hiding the stuff before you can accuse, otherwise the store can get done for defamation/slander.

Half the time it's just not worth it unless you can see someone bagging shit up. And even then you have to be wise about are ya gonna chase him depending which direction he goes because of if he runs onto Blandford street where they all hang about, you might be coming back in with a few broken bones for ya trouble.
 
Was in M&S à few weeks back and some tinker tipped a load of steaks into a basket and pegged it out of the shop. Must have got away with a hundred quids worth of meat. They've changed the layout since.
 
Seen a couple of shitbags grab a load of drills from Argos in Seaham that were on display at the front door and leg it, a bit mad when you think about it as they've probably got the least amount of stock on display of any shop

Sounds ideal really if you're after a drill. Right at the front door too, perfect.

I was killing time, so went in for a nose. I wasn't in there 30 seconds & heard this common trollop shouting at the staff to leave her alone & stop following her. Anyway, long story short, about 10 minutes later I heard one of the staff shouting "Excuse me, STOP!!". Yer one did a runner with a load of toys up her jacket. I spoke to one of the staff afterwards, who said that she had put the stuff under her jacket about an hour earlier & they were watching her the whole time. But she still got away. She spotted her chance & took it, only to leave 4 or 5 staff behind her. What a f***ing chancer.

More importantly, what sort of utter monkeys are Argos hiring?

Looking back, this probably won't be the best of stories, but sure it's good to laugh at the commoners anyway.

It breaks me to see it happen in Manitoba. There’s a law in place to protect the thieves. The security can’t do anything except send the picture to the police.
They can walk out with a tv in arms and nobody can stop them. They can refuse them entry but can’t stop them stealing if they’re already in, as that’s the polices job.
I witnessed 2 lads (around 14) filling their backpacks with toys. I told (f***ing grass I know) the security and he said he can’t do anything.
I’ve heard people just walk out with a trolley full of meats and washing powders etc.
I always wondered why so much of that stuff was on the buy and sell groups. It’s because they are untouchable
