that actually happened to my younger sister when she was 15 and this security guard at sears told her she had stolen clothes which wasnt true and my sister refused to go with him and he grabbed her and took her to the back and didnt let my mom in with her and quetioned her. and of course she didnt take anything and i have no idea what made him think that cause we walked out with no bags and we werent even wearing jackets or anything. but long story short we sued and won some money and he was suspended from his job for awhile. Now what would i do if i was accused: well my sisters lawyer said if we would have let him take her down and handcuff her we would have won alot more money. so if i was innocent and there was no reason him for that accusation then... i think you know where im goin with this.

Yeah, when I worked at a convenience store.  I robbed 'em blind!  But that was a long time ago, and I would never do it again.  That was "Pre-Morals" Brian.

I haven't. But have heard of many stories including a friend of mine. When she needed money really bad she pawned her wedding ring and only got $150 for it. Mind you it was a $1000 ring.   She really regrets it but looks back saying, "Well I really needed money that day!"...

Well, let me tell you.  On March 27, 2006, I was robbed at gunpoint at my front door.( I am a female)   It was about 10:15pm, I approached my front door, had my keys out, looked over my right shoulder, and saw someone dressed in black, crouched down near my neighbors van.  I couldn't get in my door fast enough.  He came up to me, and I noticed he had a ski mask on and had a gun.  He demanded my purse.  I had a tote bag in my hand, which had my work clothes in it, and he thought that was my purse. He took it. He demanded I empty my pockets, he said it was all about the money and he was looking for cash, and that he wasn't going to hurt me. He noticed my diamond engagement ring, and wedding band, and demanded I give them to him. So, of course, I did. He then ran.  He was never caught.  THIS, is the scariest situation I have EVER been in.  I will NEVER be the same after that incident.   ( I live in Northeastern Ohio)

Yes I've been mugged but the mugger lost...hahahahaha.  I was bigger than he was.  Anywho, if someone had a weapon and wanted my money, they can have it...it's only money.

YES! Once I needed work clothing for a new job. I saw some things I wanted but could not afford. I was at J.C. Penney's and I talked to the manager, explaining my plight, as the clothing rounded off to perhaps only $65.00....therre were similar items on sale that were actually nicer, and I pointed out that fact. I was not pleading, or begging. I was so sincere. I needed the clothes for work as mine had been stolen, along with all I had had, the manager allowed me to go through the check stand with a variance of about $22.00 that made all the difference in the world and yes...I can now say I have negotiated retail. No, I haven't done this since. I was amazed and surprised and still to this day grateful. Thanks.....

Sure have and it wasn't the best experience in my life I can tell you that. Was being charged with two felonies. Could have faced 20 yrs in prison. Both charges were dropped though. \nA shout out to all the girls in Unit M, county jail........J/K.

I was your typical naïve college girl until I had a rude awakening one night a couple of years ago. I used to work at a cute antique consignment shop until it was robbed by a couple of Mexicans. First, these 2 guys did a smash and grab on the display cases. Then they threatened me with their baseball bats to open the cash register. After they took the jewelry and cash they bound and gagged me even though I did nothing to stop them from robbing the place. It was the most terrifying thing to happen to me. The most chilling thing was how casual they did this as if viciously robbing a person was like getting groceries. Some of these people coming over here are some of the most ruthless criminals in the world. Anyways, they got caught but they were only deported back to Mexico so I’m sure they’re back here somewhere. I quit my job at the antique shop shortly afterwards…better to be safe than sorry.\n\nBTW, I'm half Hispanic so please don't say that I'm racist!!

Oh, there's a CURE... for sure... and it involves being GIVEN SOMETHING... but I don't think a shoplifter should TAKE IT!!! (at least not without permission)... lol!

Passion overcame my boyfriend and I one evening and we decided to drive to a secluded carpark.\n\nWhen we got there, we noticed that there were 3 other vehicles parked up at the otherside, windows all semi-steamed up, so  we parked at the other side away from them\n\nAnyway one thing led to another and just in mid thrust so-to-speak there were a knock on the window, we looked out and realised that it was a police officer.\n\nIt appeared that we had been the entertainment for an organised drugs bust and that in the other cars in the carpark was nearly a million pounds worth of cocaine!\n\nThe drug dealers applauded us as they were handcuffed and thrown into the back of a van!

I dont know about that...I guess it depends on who's doing the lifting. For others, it seems  clear cut enough that one ought to do his/her duty  and report the crime...I don't know I just have this thing for underdogs and if I found myself in such a position and its obvious enough that the person shoplifting is doing so becuase he/ she cant afford to buy the particular item then I'd just let it slide but maybe I would let him/her know somehow that I did see what happened. but then again...dont listen to me....Im morally impaired.

Did you ever do it? If so I'd like to know how funny the counter person thought it was. I work as an A.M in a fast food place and I think it would have been freakin hilarious!

We already have it - people use stolen credit card numbers to order merchandise, there is identity theft, and scams.  Shoplifting from the convenience of your home!
