Tip for potential shoplifters: when caught attempting to steal, it may seem smart to leave the premises, but in most cases it isn't. If you do leave the premises, it is REALLY STUPID to leave your government-issued photo ID. (This is the same clerk that, in my earlier case, identified the stolen shoes on the defendant's feet at his trial for the shoe theft. One would think our crooks would know by now not to steal at that shoe store.)

If you're going to shoplift or steal, why would you bring IDENTIFICATION with you? DUH!

Of course these are the same people that, when they steal beer, they steal a six-pack of something lite. Go for the gusto, man! Steal a case of the full stuff!

I do not understand why the Piggly Wiggly, WalMart, Best Buy and Rent-A-Center are the merchants with the most items shoplifted in this town. Their merchandise is nothing fancy. I saw a young girl convicted recently for stealing a pair of toddler shorts. Her defense? "I wanted to see if I could wear a child's size 4."
Actually, there are expensive things at Best Buy, but they also have hundreds of cameras and security devices in that store. Why on earth would someone try to shoplift knowing that his or her every move was being recorded?
Knowing WalMart's liberal no-questions-asked return policy, I understand why people steal from WalMart, too.
But I still don't understand why people take things that don't belong to them.

Walmart is as high-end as it gets in Henry County.
Several years ago, the local Walmart in the varnish zone lost $400,000 due to theft in one year.They have since installed a better camera system and hired and trained more asset protection managers. And someone got the bright idea of giving us a copy of the program for the video system so people can watch themselves steal on beautiful HD in the courtroom. Theft has gone down.

They steal something "lite" because it's easier to carry... ;)

I think this is post 5000. Cool.
Good morning!
I took the day off.
My day has already been made.

and I went for our morning walk, and we met a lady who was power-walking. I said, "Good morning," and she replied, "Good morning. I love your Duke hat!"
