The son of a senior Home Depot worker, who died after a serial shoplifter shoved him to the concrete floor, said his elderly dad was simply “going to ask for a receipt” when he was savagely attacked — as he calls for an urgent crackdown on rampant theft.

In the disturbing caught-on-camera assault, Gary Rasor, 83, was forcefully shoved to the ground after he approached a man wheeling out three pressure washers worth over $800 from the Hillsborough, North Carolina store on Oct. 18.

He died due to complications from his injuries on Dec. 1.

Rasor’s eldest child, Jeff Rasor, said his father was just doing his job and asking for proof of purchase when he was remorselessly attacked.

He is now calling for authorities to crack down on growing thievery across the nation.

I was at a Home Depot just this morning not too far from downtown Cleveland, Ohio, and I noticed that one of the two main front entrances now has a one-way gate installed when you enter, forcing you to exit through the other main door where the checkouts are located and numerous employees are around. First time I’ve seen this.

There is a pattern which politicians and the media are both afraid to address

And then they pass off the costs onto everybody else. They steal from you and me.
