Bizarre thought process...
The local Home Depot has now locked up 90% of their power tools, lawn mowers, weed eaters etc because folks are just walking out of the stores with them. According to you just say it’s mine and you’re good to go.
Ever walk out a store with a bag or cart full and the buzzer goes off because a tag or something sets it off? What do you do.. run? I’m guessing you stop and someone checks the item or receipt or a cashier says your good.
Ever go to a Sam’s club or BJ’S and there’s a guy there checking your receipt and verifying it against what’s in your cart.. you just paid for it’s yours... they have no right?

Yes I’ve seen this happen and you are correct honest people stop on spot and look back at the cashier. Usually the cashier just tells them to “keep going” because he/she knows they just paid for that.
I never said that anywhere. If I paid for an item, it's mine. Once it's mine, the store has no more authority over the item or me.
Yes, I have walked through the sensors, and yes, they have gone off. I typically ignore them, or glance back for a reaction. I've never been accused of anything.
I've also never stolen anything.
