To Turn in a Shoplifter, Yes or No?
 

While wasting time in Denvers Airport, I happened into a shop to glace the mags. I saw this women put a pair of sungalsses into her shopping bag. She then walked out of the store. So, what would you do?

Drop dime Mike.

You home this weekend?

Shrink is passed onto the consumer!

What about legal ramifications? It's your word against hers. Are they going to hold her on your say-so? Do the police search her on your say-so? Not sure I would get involved for some cheap sunglasses. Now you've just missed your flight. :)

This sounds like some type of PSI test question i took 25 years ago

I would have turned her in. But I'd have no confidence the clerk would do anything about it. Those folks ain't the owners and probably don't really care. If it's on the surveillance camera, the thief would be long gone before anyone viewed it.

So, you didn't say anything, huh? And now you feel weird.

It kind of answers your own question.

C'mon, guys - how long have y'all been on PPOT? We need some suitable PPOT answers. You know the rules...

I woulda cold-cocked the b!tch, then retrieved the sun glasses and returned them to the shop, asking the hot clerk for a date in the process. Or something like that.

Was she hot?

Lefties would do nothing!

No question what to do in this case. Turn them in.

Mike is a righty.

I'm slightly left of center.

I voted thumb screws for the *****.

Bush hates shoftlifters

LOL!

Tell the clerk and be done.

Of course, if you witnessed this in the Middle East, wouldn't you be responsible for cutting off her hand, gutting her, then setting her on fire?

Ask her (facetiously) if she wouldn't mind grabbing a pair for you... just to see her expression.

We have a winner!

pat her down, have her assume the postion?

Give her a spanking.

I get back from Canada then we head out to Connecticut on Sat for a week then Li and I go to Hawaii for 2 weeks.

Nope, I didn't say anything to the clerk. Can't say I felt weird or not - rather amusing actually. The sunglasses she lifted couldn't been worth more than $10. But it did make me thinkj anout the topic as a philosophical question.

I only report felonies. No thats not true either. Actually, I really don't know why I didn't say anything. Must be the withdrawls kick'n in.

And no, she was fugly and the clerk was some stressed out kid with 8 people in line to buy gum and mags.

Hind sight - I would told the clerk. From now on...
