I worked in a lumber yard at 16.
My manager asked me to watch this suspicious truck and tell me if he tried to take off.
They did take off, back out the in gate.
My vantage point were shadows back in the garage.
Guy turned round, jumped out hit the gate switch and split.
Peeling out.
Ran to the counter.
“Son of a bitch!” my boss yelled and called the police.
Then told me to go back out in the yard and watch.
Guy came back through the entrance gate again minutes later with half the load he’d drove out with.
Cops were at the counter the second time.
Cops told me to sit in the back of the scrap barn across from the registers.
Guy pulled up to the pay stop.
Cops took him into custody.
Next BoyScout Road:
Boss told me to get in the back of the cop car and take a ride to the residence of the suspect WHO by the way was the brother of the guy who owned My Brother’s Bar.
...not kidding.
We get to the one story ranch and the cops are in the Front Yard.
We walk though a familiar looking front door and stare at a kitchen table with a 60 yr oldish wife sobbing while her house is being ransacked, her husband in cuffs.
Interesting day? Almost as interesting as a ‘70’s Zappa album.
We were led past the sobstress and into the basement, which had a great deal of merchandise our store sold.
I’m still 16.
We hauled out everything from drywall, screws, nails, 1x2 strips, paneling, foam board, glue, tools, you name it...
Hauled it all out.
Then, on the way out my boss handed us screwdrivers and told us to take the front door.
The “Forever Door” as was its brand.
...and we did.
Nothing really changed after that. Total shrug moment.
Until now maybe.
He didn't.
Interesting story. When I worked in retail someone stole razor blades by putting them in his jacket.
A case of a steak out.
Look at the photo. Looks like at least 12 steaks.
Not “Nash” county...Nashville is in Davidson County...
We don’t buy our beef at WalMart, but I have seen Angus there for twelve dollars a pound. Eight pounds would not be a lot to hide and try to abscond with. That would be almost a hundred dollars worth.
There are so many oddly shaped people shopping at Walmart, I could understand missing one shoplifter with bulgy legs.
I guess the t-boner gave him away...
+1.

Scooter, not moped.
Nash, Davidson. Pretty close for TV news.
Hehehe.
Beef tenderloin is about $15 a pound. Ribeyes about $12.
Once had $100+ of NYStrip stolen from a market I worked at. Guy was so big that he hid it under his belly like Fat Bastard!
Rib-eyes are over $10/lb
Nashville, North Carolina....yeah, we have one.
Yes, Nash County in North Carolina.
Our Nashville was, like the Tennessee one, named for the Revolutionary War hero Gen. Francis Nash.
I live not far from this store and was surprised to see this on FR today.
