I don't know what the policy is at my local Wal-Mart for shoplifters, but this is what we do to purse snatchers.

CLAYTON, N.C. -- Shoppers in a Clayton Wal-Mart used their carts to help apprehend a suspected purse-snatcher, authorities said. A man grabbed a woman's pocketbook while she was shopping in the children's clothing section of the Wal-Mart on Sunday afternoon, authorities said. As the man tried to flee, about 30 customers rammed him with their shopping carts in an effort to stop him, authorities said.
The man was tackled by a former State Bureau of Investigation agent near the store entrance and was arrested, authorities said.

Good for them. It's about time citizens started doing things like that. If more of that happened, no store would have to worry about thieves for the most part.
