Here is the situation: let's say you go to the same clothing store several times and steal clothes in the dressing room. LP is not on to you. You are not watched. LP has not seen you conceal anything. No one can later verify that you left the dressing room with fewer items than you went in with (employees did not check, and sometimes there was already clothing in the dressing room). so you leave the store with the items.
Now here's the concern: if they take regular inventory they will come up with missing items. let's say they decide to comb through hours of video.
NOW THE ONLY VIDEO THEY HAVE ON YOU IS TAKING THE MISSING ITEMS TO THE DRESSING ROOM. Can they later do anything or is this not enough evidence??? of course, this will never be done again, pretty scared already. (also, this is a busy department store with hundreds of people a day.)
