[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in LE. I hate when stores prosecute thefts like this. Whole shopping carts yes, pricey clothing yes, all for it. 10 chicken nuggets? That’s theft under $100. So that’s a court date for the mom, the cop that was called, and the store manager. The paperwork at the court and the OT the cop gets for showing up cost more than 10 chicken nuggets. If she doesn’t show up now a bench warrant gets issued, that warrant needs entering into ncic. It shows up on case search. I had to enter a FTA bench warrant the other day for theft under $100 for a stolen Gatorade and chips. It was less than $10. But the store wanted to press charges. It’s so much work, time, and money wasted. [/quote] Thanks for sharing your perspective. It is valid as well. I worked at a retail store. We’ve had to chase down perps. People just wanted some lipsticks, or earrings, or coats or jeans and they could not afford them. So they steal. It’s a huge problem. And I cannot tell you how many times I have found sensors in dressing rooms, in pockets, in plastic bags ripped from clothes, etc. The stories would haunt you. You just draw a bright line against it all. I could have made it a bigger deal. No one apprehended her. But I hope I made her think to not do it again (though I know she will).[/quote]
