What are the "rules" of shoplifting? In order to stop a suspect, does a store employee have to see the person select, conceal, and walk away with the item?Store polices vary but short answer is yes What happens if one or two of these steps are not seen? Loss Prevention could be in trouble however if the subject actually did stea it isnt likely anything will happen Personally, I feel that LP and store employees have the right to check no matter what. Anyway, I would like to know.
For instance, are they allowed to stop the shoplifter on the word of a customer if they didn't see the shoplifter take the item? Legally yes however Store policy would not appeove of said action
Thanks.
