What would you guys do: shoplifters

Not doing something takes a braver and stronger man. You’ll learn someday Rambo.

People not doing something is why this country is turning into what it is.
The irony, OP feels he should have done something, which is why they are asking for reassurance in there post.
Your name calling doesn't bother me, I stand by what I said.
Did I say OP should have confronted this person no, OP should have called the police and reported license number, regardless if the police won't do something.

No way in Hell would I value some store’s merchandise over the safety of my family. Especially when the store doesn’t seem to care.

“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

We’ve created a society where good men are afraid to take action. That’s got to change in order for this nonsense to stop.

Do what? Detain the guy for cops that will do nothing to him......for store merch that the store does not care about.....for charges against him that the da will not file....the thief will not even be detained ....what are you going to do administer corporal punishment in the street?

Really, the thing to do is to move far away from anywhere this type of chit is allowed. I never seen it around here and I only seen one dude with the low rider pants in the last 20 years....MOVE now for the sake of your kids.

Fear and having the common sense to realize that doing anything in that situation other than a phone call and a few picture's is fruitless and stupid. Touch that thief and the law will roll you right up....while he walks and then sues you.

Not risking my kids growing up fatherless for a big corporation's goods that they're not willing to defend themselves. If the tables were turned, I don't think Sierra Trading Post is gonna put their neck on the line for me.

Agree about moving.

Originally from from a small town in Colorado, and lived in Montana for 20 years before work took us back to Colorado/Denver.

Exit plan in the works.

1st, NEVER with your family around. These turds will not hesitate to pull a gun. 2nd....Rittenhouse number two...you want that to be you?

Imagine living somewhere that you can pull up to the gas station pump and pump you gas and then go inside to pay for it.....no pre pay and no cameras....

I'd cut a valve stem off a tire, stand back and enjoy the show.

Now, thats not a bad idea.....I'd actually do that

Some pretty good insights shared on this thread. The thing I come away with is just how sad it is to see our country devolve to this level. No low-life thief is worth your life, nor harm to your family.

We can thank insects like George Soros for spending millions to put Marxist DA's in place in these cities. The Hungarian "Black Hand" isn't even welcome in his Native county, if he stepped foot there, he'd be tried for serious crimes.
These leftist attorneys refuse to prosecute anyone who isn't Conservative or patriotic. It is patriots now who face grave consequences in this country.

Two things:
1. You never know what someone else is going through in their life. They may have nothing to lose.

2. NEVER F with someone who has nothing to lose.

If the big corporations care then let them hire security. No reason to do for free. Assume all the risk with what reward?

 

[D_Dubya]

Maybe you should’ve gone back in the store and loaded up your own cart load of free stuff…

LOL!

California voters approved prop 47 which changed many lower level felonies to misdemeanors. It also changed the monetary threshold from 400 to 950. A DA can still charge and prosecute but it's not common. Now we are seeing the fallout.

As far as doing something; my #1 priority is to keep my family safe. Not intervene in a petty crime that one, police won't likely respond to and two, a DA won't charge. Sad times but, that's the way it is.

 

[Eltigreblanco]

I'd do like I always do and mind my own business

 

[SWOHTR]

Shoot ‘em and leave ‘em for dead in the parking lot, let the buzzards clean up the mess.

Just kidding of course. Put first things first and go about business that way.
