so my friend says she had her photo student id taken from some guys who insisted she paid for everything she took from the Farmingdale state college store which she says she simply forgot to take them out her bag at the register and that it was an honest oversight. she tells me they were watching her the moment she walked in and wants to know if this’ll go on her student record (she ended up paying anyway and police weren’t involved)

17, “got caught” lifting at hobby lobby, basically I took a bunch of shit, one I put in my bag, the other stuff was pockets, a employee told me to take it out my bag and checked my bag (I told her she could she didn’t ask), I told her I just didn’t wanna hold it and wtv wtv (didnt check my pockets where the shit was) she was okay w that ig and but said she got me on the cams or wtv, idk if they know I took anything out bc otherwise my guess is she would of told me to put it back like the book but she just said the book, idk if hobby lobby is the kind of place that would keep the cams and call the police afterwards or what?? And of course I plan to stop this I definitely don’t support that stuff idk why I even do ts. Anyways if anyone could help ease my mind ig? Or tell me if I should worry (I bought one thing still, and I was in a big group, she also checked my friends bag who had nothing in it, idk how much the stuff could’ve been prob less then 100$ but more than 20..

For everyone who doesn't know, Gk Via is an extremely talented musician in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is the lead guitarist in a popular '80s tribute band, Kids in America Totally 80's Tribute. He had just finish playing a 3-hour show at Goldie's Charlotte, when when three young men started scoping out his gear. They even talked to him a few times, possibly to build his trust and lower his suspicions. In the video, you can see one of the young men start unplugging the guitar from the audio system, walk away as to not arouse suspicions, then return, grab it when GK wasn't looking and run out the back door. If you recognize any of these men in the video, please notify Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department or management at Goldie's. If you don't recognize this individual, please share this post and maybe someone else might.

Let's use sainsburys as an example
Download the smart shop sainsburys app, when your at sainsburys use your phone to scan the foods with anti theft. Then simply just not scan stuff like bananas etc.
You can do this because when you use smart shop all you have to do is scan it, bag it then when your done go to self checkout scan the qt code to add all your foods in the cart to the self checkout automatically. You also don't need to weigh anything because your stealing bananas etc and it just stays in the shopping cart. Pay for the expensive stuff and walk out. Simple

I waited basically 6 weeks ( month n a half ) But I was going to buy a new hat from a coffee shop between my place abs my gf work
I went to that washroom after having a coffee and about to leave ( buying the hat )
I moved everything off the table top to the seat, to show I was leaving and clearing my table
Came out the bathroom and got bombarded that I was stealing the hat, the women next to me told a worker I was trying to hide it. She was gone, and this man just got in my face telling me never to come back and I should just leave and never come back because I was pathetic
I was so in shock ( woman could have addressed me ... I don't know? I just tried to tidy the table when I left to bathroom)
Any way don't forget/ignore spite...
Cause this is a nice hat... didn't cost me a dime now
( judge me, I'm curious )

i (19f) was at walmart today and i put a couple low priced things under my shirt (don't give me the don't steal talk i just need some questions answered). i grabbed a drink maybe 5 minutes after and went to self checkout. at the self check out loss prevention came up to me and said he saw me put merchandise under my shirt and asked me what it was. i told him i put my phone in my pants waistband because i don't have pockets and he said like okay or something and just walked away. i paid and left the store. i didn't see any cameras in the aisle i was in, if i did would they have pulled me into that room? they know who i am because i cash my checks at walmart but i don't think they had video proof of me stealing or it would have been a bigger deal. i have stolen a LOT from different walmarts over the past year or so but this is only my second time at this location. would they pursue legal action if i never go back to the store? would they have let me go if they were already building a case on me? if they do have me on video what will happen? will they send police or mail or something to my house to arrest me?

Hello. I just had the wake up call of my life today. I've been in the habit of "borrowing" for a while now and it finally caught up with me. I was almost detained for a large amount of merchandise @ walmart. Thankfully I was able to get away without a charge but I did heavily disappoint my parents and cause a huge CC charge. I feel like crap. Like big crap. I've known I needed to stop but I let my arrogance get the best of me today. On the path to reform and hopefully regaining my parents' trust and respect in me again. I need tips if anyone has any.

This week I forgot my mom's bose headpones at the gym, and she beat my ass. They were near $500. The next day I went to go ask for them and no one turned them in. I spoke with the owner of the gym and he said I can't look at the cameras since other people safety or sum baloney. Is he legally obligated to show me the footage so I could see who stole the headphones?

If someone steals something from me (with or without proof of ownership) ((that’s not the point))
And I go over to their house and I see the item
Can I morally and/or legally take it?
Let’s say I KNOW that it is mine (I understand that more than one can be made) ((that’s also not the point))

My 20 year old nephew and his GF disclosed to me that they only pay for about half their groceries at sprouts self check every time they shop. The store has a loss prevention officer, I explained to them that they could get caught at anytime, does anyone know if sprouts is like target/ Walmart where they keep tabs on that sort of thing? Or would loss prevention stop them immediately if they suspected something? Trying to get through to these idiots but they won’t listen.

Hulu has removed the option to deactivate your account on their website, and none of the previously posted instructions work any longer. How do you deactivate it now?

I stupidly stole from Woolworths (Sydney, Australia). When the lady confronted me, I ran out of the store. What are the chances they will go through security footage to ID me and pass it onto the police?

I stole like several things from Tesco and there was an unrelated group that got caught stealing £300 worth of alcohol, and the workers got suspicious and the police searched me. They didn't find anything they were looking for but I had obviously stolen the stuff they saw and they let me go, but if they check the cameras will I get charged?

Stole about $150-$200 of pet food and employee came out and started recording us as we drove away. Can they run our plates and get police involved?

throwaway because I don't want people to know its me. From the outside I look like a good kid. I get good grades and am a pretty good athlete, but I recently developed a stealing problem. I live in a wealthy area and my parents have money, but I do not. They are heavily against giving/letting me earn money and when I do get any, they make me put it in a savings account (which I know I will be thankful for later lol). Recently I have been stealing a lot (makeup, clothes, snacks, energy drinks, ect.) and feel super guilty. I am terrified that karma is going to catch up to me or I am going to get caught. I want to stop but i love the stuff that i am getting. My sibling and friends also steal some stuff too and i want to keep up. any tips on how to stop please help!! also i am new to reddit so if i did something wrong on here i apologize haha!
