HA!
So I helped catch a thief today at work.
He's been stealing from our store for the last month or so, and he comes in at least once a week. So today the girl that I was working with told me to go see the security guy and see what the guy who's been stealing looks like.
Not even 5 minutes after I got back to my department, I see the guy walking up to our counter with a cart.
My jaw just dropped at that point. I was actually a little scared at first - I don't know why. He's a thief, not a murderer. But anyway.
As soon as we saw him, we called the security guy and he was already aware - he had been watching our department from the cameras.
So the thief asks for 5lbs of pickerel and tells us he'll be right back - he went to the meat department to grab a few things. So he comes back and the girl who was working with me saw his cart and it was full of stuff. She was like "Having a party?" and he said "What? Oh, uhh. Yeah. Ten people coming over tonight. I don't buy fish very often cause it's so damn expensive." then he laughed. I felt like saying "Yeah, I bet you don't buy fish very often." haha but I kept my mouth shut.
So then he leaves with all of his stuff and we kind of watch where he's going - he did a circle then went to the front of the store and by this time he's already ditched his cart and stuffed all the fish & meat into his duffel bag (almost $200 worth). The security guy is following him at this point.
Then he walks out into the front doors (the cart room) and does a circle in there and walks out of the store. As soon as he leaves the store, I see the security guy just boot it out the doors to catch him.
It was hilarious. He actually asked my co-worker and I if our manager was working and we told him she wasn't. That's probably why he thought he could get away with it. He thought wrong - the two teenagers in the department were the ones who caught him.

I'm just a little crimestopper, eh? haha.
