Shoplifting

A recent article was released in the Kenosha News talking about shoplifting. There has been a rise of shoplifters, and now they have brought in the officials. Two men named love and Martin walk to isles of stores watching for signs of shoplifting. Shoplifters are getting smart, different strategies have been surfacing. The newspaper and cell phone trick. The newspaper trick is when a customer hides the product under the newspaper ads and then will eventually unwrap the product, discard of the cover, and walk out of the store with their pockets full of stolen goods. The cell phone trick pertains of answering texts/calls frequently, while slipping products into your pockets with your cell phone each time. Martin and Love tell us that this is not the only give away for shoplifters, its the way they carry themselves, their expressions, and body language. So no matter how hard they try, they will give themselves away.
Shoplifting is on the news all the time. One part that is humorous is the fact that they post these strategies on the internet. You don't think the officials will have read them by the time they have tried? You might as well go to a cop and tell him all the ways you have shoplifted. Not smart at all. Towards the end of the article it states about a woman who got caught stealing $15 dollars worth of goods. And guess how much she was fined. $303 Dollars. Those treats that she stole cost a lot more than if she just payed for them. Seriously people need to think. Three hundred dollars for a candy bar, or .95. You tell me which one sounds better. A reason they gave for the rise of shoplifting is the economy. People are becoming desperate, they will do anything. There is a lot more than you can do rather than stealing from other people, ruining their lives. Look for those opportunities for help, instead of just digging yourself into a deeper whole by paying the fine. Again, you tell me which sounds better. Then there are those idiots who just go and steal things because they don't want to spend two dollars out of their thousands and thousands of dollars that they have. The best feeling has to be to catch these people and charge them that much money. It's like a big reversed game of Deal or No Deal. Are you going to buy the case for .95. or 300 Dollars. Again, you tell me which sounds better. Common sense would tell people which sounds better. So listen to your brain for once. Think of people besides yourself, and just pay the .95 for the candy bar. Do yourself and someone else a favor. And two thumbs up for Martin and Love. Go get 'em guys!!
