So everyone on my other thread wanted to hear the story so I just decided to make a thread about it to fill some time.

So my friends and I went to the mall (northgate mall for any of you WA people) and went into JCpenney and I took two shirts that interested me into the changing room put them on tucked them in and then pulled my sweatshirt back on and then a few moments later I found a couple shirts i liked more so I went into another changing room and changed them out (bad idea) at this point people were getting suspicious of me, then as I walked out of the 2nd changing room I noticed this guy wearing casual clothing talking on his cell phone looking at me and acting a little weird, anyways i leave the store and then all of a sudden a big black guy and the guy that i saw outside the 2nd changing room grab me and pull me away from my friends, tell me to clasp my hands and take me back to the security office where I'm put in handcuffs and wait for my mom to come pick me up.

i have a court date and fines facing me in the next few months.

Sparknotes: Caught shoplifting from JcPenney by two undercover security guards, facing court and fines.

the way i see it that 3b that someone mentioned in loss due to theft is just 3b less that the top 0.5% of walmart employees will see in bonuses under their christmas trees, therefore fuck'em

Walmart may be a shitty business but you are a shitty person if you steal from them. Stealing is wrong. Our culture has recognized it as wrong and every culture I can think of on the planet has recognized it as wrong. You can't justify stealing from walmart. Most of the kids that steal from places like that steal shit they don't need anyways.
I left a harsh comment to the thread creator and even though in a perfect world natural selection would have it out for you I hope for your sake you choose to obey simple laws like not shoplifting and if you do I hope they give you a slap on the wrist.

now now lets give it some respect. that shit hole was built before I-5 was even built through there, AND it's the first mall mall in the US (I'm not necessarily sure if that's a good thing, but respect).


As for the thread creator, find some new friends or some shit. If they were braggin about the ease of jackin shit from jcpennys, then theyre probably... uh... not the sharpest knives in the drawer, and it seems like that brought you down. In the end, shoplifting is fucking stupid. To all you cunts that steal from walmart, too: fuck you. I hate that company, but just because it's big doesn't mean shit, theft is fucking gay.

get all your deviousness out while you're young! people who act perfect as teenagers have problems once they go out on their own. Seen 2 people with academic scholarships have to move back home because they couldn't deal with new experiences. I recommend you do more illegal things!

why is everyone so hard on this kid? I steal shit all the time. Not tshirts, but little shit like crankbaits from the fishing store yesterday. but really, he feels bad enough already, you guys dont have to go and tell him that he deserved it. And im willing to bet that all of you who said hes an idiot or deserved it, have stolen stuff at one time or another as well.

Word of advise, you do this at your own discretion and I take no fault or blame for you getting in trouble for this if it happens....



Anyway, my gf and some friends work at some various retail stores. Two of my friends work for jcpenny's and my gf works for another retail store. JCPenny's is one of the very few stores where the LP (security) guys can physically touch you to prevent you leaving with merchandise. Almost any other store they are not allowed to touch you at all due to corporate regulations. If you do it at another retail store or something, they can't touch you, and the employee's can't even say anything to you. Only security can. Security will watch you steal something on camera, then call the cops and when the cops are there they will try and stop you. that way you run out of the store and run straight in to the cops and get busted. If you take something and leave fast though and then just get out of there (don't drive, they can get your plates) then you are in the clear 99% of the time and you will be gone before the cops show up. Even if the guards try and talk to you, you can just run and they can't touch you.

Like I said, do this at your own risk and it might not be the same for all other retail stores and it's stupid to try and shoplift in the first place.

six of us got caught shoplifting some pretty big shit. i was only 13 at the time. my friend hassan lifted an ipod nano . other friend kamran lifted a 500 dollar camera. i didint take anything. alarms went off because my stupid friend kamaran forgot to take off a security tag. we booked it.

i was the only one who got away. somehow my friend hassan manged to call me before they took his shit away and said  there was a search for me. i ran as fast as i could and hid out for the afternoon at my friend harrys house.

the next day i caught the worst case of flu ive ever had. the police came because hassan was forced to give them my adress. they came to my house. spent 8 hours in a cell. grounded for a month.

Yeah, 8 hours in a cell?
You're lucky it wasn't 8 years in Gitmo with that name.

stealing is stealing bud; that's the bottom line.
oh and you guys think that if you steal from walmart it automatically makes it right??? I mean seriously do you think with this economic crisis you stealing shit is really helping the world economy? sure it's only "a t shirt" but what if everyone stole "a t shirt"?
and this was directed less towards z rob and more towards a lot of the dumbasses that posted in this thread.

Wal-Mart is kind of a different story than most businesses. I mean don't get me wrong I'm not justifying stealing from anyone, but I'm saying if you HAD to steal from someone, it would be most justified to steal from a comany who's business model is inherently bad for your community. Two wrongs don't make a right, but -well I dunno what I was going to say, nevermind.

You guys are seriously defending companies like Walmart? The #1 biggest corporation on the planet based on revenue. So far in 2009, even with the economy, Walmarts stocks have increased. Total 2009 revenue at this point is $404.16 billion.
