We Caught Our First Shoplifter

I was trying to comply to a request ( from site admin) by not posting that very thought!

While I object to the level of gratuitous attacks on people who post questions, that has nothing to do with this thread.

I think I might puke for saying this....but I agree with bam! The steps are not needed for a retail business owner to press charges for theft. Those guidelines are for us Panther, not Joe Q. Public. As far as your business suffering for standing up for your interests, I doubt anyone would blame you for it. Now if you'll excuse me I feel the need to hurl..............

FWIW, we ARE filing charges, her bust-the one we caught her with and she admitted to, was NOT the first one. One of our girls saw her steal another item the day before, but it was a new sales associate we had and she did not tell us until after the fact. But, it was why they watched her when she came back in yesterday.

The officer was on the girls side (the thieving scumbag) when she called us to find out if we were pressing charges...they must be church buddies or something.

I am so sick and tired of people stealing from us, this is our first person we have caught, so she will be the poster child. Maybe she can pray tonight that her buddy jesus gets her out of this one. ;)

Glad to see you're sticking to your guns stiksandstones, if the word gets out your store is not an easy hit....all the better. Good luck!
