A few weeks back someone brought in an iPod touch to sell. The price was right so I bought it and the guy left. Not more than 30 seconds later someone else comes in asking if I bought any stolen items today. Uhm, yeah, like I’d know they were stolen when I [...]

I seriously don’t understand the mentality of people who rent a movie and then never bring it back or pay for it’s replacement. Are they really so hard up for that movie that they are willing to steal it? Yes, it is theft. If you rent something for a day, then never [...]

Many years ago, we used to let our customer/s put things on layaway, it’s a common practice here just like getting the best diet pill. Unfortunately, having tried this out and in bid to help genuine customer/s, the bad ones comes along and take advantage of it.

I’ve written often about shoplifters we catch or find in the store, but I’ve never written about what happens when someone sells us stolen goods. It happens from time to time, and short of strapping everyone up to a lie detector there’s really no way for us to know ahead of time. One [...]

A few weeks back I noticed an empty spot on a shelf, after a few minutes I realized what was missing and took a look at the inventory list in the computer. Sure enough that item was supposedly still in stock. Great, more shoplifters! I spent the afternoon rearranging the security cameras [...]

I’ve been arguing with myself for a long time now as to whether I should post this or not. On one hand it didn’t affect me directly and he does have his right to privacy and all that, but on the other hand he’s a damn thief.
This story started about a little over a [...]

I don’t know if this type of thing is happening anywhere else in the world, but around here the thieves have been getting more greedy by the day. The current hot item? Copper. Yep, copper. It seems that the price of salvaged copper is higher than ever these days. So not only do you have [...]

After finding we had a new shoplifter I decided that even though it was only around $20 worth of stuff, I was pissed off enough to call the cops to report it, even though I have no intention of pressing charges. I just wanted to make sure he knows he was caught and to be [...]

First he tried to steal a 450watt power supply in a rather large box. Taken from a shelf less than 10 feet [...]

Some news on the guy who rented the 2 Wii games and never returned them. He called on Tuesday, very apologetic, saying he had rented the games for a friend of his and he didn’t even know they weren’t returned yet. I told him I had tried to call but he had given [...]
