“Families” would walk into our store with one staying in the running car waiting by the door. They would load up a few carts, walk around the store waiting for someone to distract the guard, dump one cart over as a diversion and run out with the other. One time, they left a child behind.
What did you do with the kid? Did you sell him/her? I am sure the retail value of said kid did not equal the amount stolen.
