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?

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.

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.

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

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.
