THE SILLY PRIMITIVE
Original message

70 people on my lawn at 2AM..called the cops..never showed... BUT today at Walgreens, 2 guys walked out (actually ran out) with 3 packages of diapers, and by the time I checked out, there were THREE sheriffs, TWO policemen , and THREE firemen.

They had one guy in cuffs and created a major traffic jam with FIVE law enforcement vehicles.

The firemen came to see what was happening...the guy who was caught ran onto their property & one of the fireman grabbed him & held him until the cops came..

The people on my lawn incident was apparently from a very noisy party next door & there were just too many people in the house..They left an awful mess ..bottles & trash all over.

I guess the police did not think it was odd for a mob of people to congregate on the street & in the yards at 2 am.. No harm done, but it struck me as odd that there would be such a strong response to diaper-theft..

It's a really big campfire.

97.  What is the bigger sin? Letting your children starve, or stealing food?

94. I worked in a store that was known to be soft and really made no attempt to detain shoplifters after the company was sued by a security guard who was hospitalized after confronting a methed out shoplifter in the parking lot, this was well known by the criminal element and they would travel from far and wide. There were literally ****ers who would drive all the way from Arizona to rip us off.

98. Rip "us" off?

Did you have a stake in the company?

113. no, but shrinkage came out of the profit sharing 

These assholes would blatantly push mountain bikes out the ****ing door - I suppose I should have helped them to their cars?

Our greatest hits security reel includes a couple going to electronics, grabbing a 27" television and taking it to the return counter. Obviously not having a receipt they were turned away and walked out the door with it, by the time I left all we were doing was confronting known shoplifters on their way into the store and telling them to **** off. Also on the greatest hits reel was this punk kid walking in, trying on some shoes and walking right out the door in front of the saleswoman, at which point he mooned the security camera.

88. Because they don't actually know any. 

True criminals, that is. If they did, and had they been victimized a few times, they might have a much less romanticized notion of crime...

Look, if people on this thread are honestly stupid enough to believe that these kids are stealing diapers for their children, I can't help them. Anybody who has any actual street knowledge knows that diapers and formula street sell for nearly half of what a store charges....lots more than what other stolen loot sells for.

99. Yeah, big "criminals" these guys are.

Trying to steal diapers.

The real criminals are the ones who devised a society where that sort of thing is necessary, and the ones who are complicit in that society through their assent.

Profit sharing??  What evil corporation might this be which would jab the needle of profit sharing into an associates arm to get them hooked on the retail?? 

As for the rest of his tale?  Well it makes a good story as they say.  Sounds like they should just post a sign saying "free stuff".
