I have worked retail security and loss prevention for quiet a while now... Had there not been a police officer anywhere in the parking lot, and her car was completely unoccupied, I could have still told you that a shoplifting incident was about to take place. If you watch the full video, you will notice that the vehicle has no license plate. It is backed into a handicap spot so as to allow quick escape while keeping the vehicle as close as possible to the door of the building. This is standard operating procedure for retail shoplifting. She was caught, and attempted to use a 4,000 pound weapon to escape. She was more than happy to try and run over the officer. She learned a hard lesson, even if she only retained it for a very short while.
If folks could only witness the callous sense of entitlement that is exhibited by most of today’s shoplifting crews, they would be shocked. I have reached the point where I have zero sympathy for them...
Excellent post.
