A cop who moonlighted at a grocery store to catch shoplifters, told me he saw a very large lady stand at the meat counter, lift her dress up and attach hams to a belt and hook device she was wearing. If this guy wore really baggy pants with elastic or Velcro cuffs, he could get away with a lot of steaks. People who do this stuff figure if they can get away with it, they have a right to it. ——”Shouldn’t have been leaving all that meat lying around there, anyway.” type of attitude.
Interesting story. When I worked in retail someone stole razor blades by putting them in his jacket.
