Shoplifting - Lady Cop - 02-20-2011
some think stores have insurance and can afford to absorb the losses.
some think it's harmless and hurts nobody. or it isn't "really stealing".
but as everyone really knows, the costs are passed on to the honest consumer. and the costs are staggering.

PORTLAND ORE. -- Safeway officials say they have proof that a local couple stole more than $5 million in merchandise from stores in the Portland Metro area over the past several years.
Police arrested Richard Lavern Remington, 52, and Angela Rose Evans, 32, on Tuesday and the couple was arraigned in Multnomah County Circuit Court Wednesday.
The probable cause affidavit showed that Safeway began formally tracking the pair last November after suspicions surfaced they had been shoplifting.
Evans told police that the couple stole mostly common items like shampoos, razors, Rogaine, teeth whiteners, conditioners to batteries, DVDs and CDs, according to the affidavit, which also said that Remington stole DVDs on 22 different dates since November.
The court documents said that store surveillance cameras showed Remington involved in 103 thefts between Nov. 19 and Jan. 14, and that Evans was present in more than half of those incidents.
Investigators said the couple would go to several Safeway stores a day and shoplift. They actually used a shopping list for the thefts provided by a suspect still being sought.
Safeway security officer Trent Drucker estimates that Remington stole $400,000 a year in merchandise over several years, totaling $5 million over the span of thefts.
On Nov. 19, Safeway security officials placed a tracking device on a van driven by the couple. Whenever the van was driven to a Safeway, surveillance videos were carefully scrutinized.
In the weeks following, Safeway officials created a spreadsheet of locations and thefts, which they presented to Portland police. The couple was arrested outside a Safeway store in Portland's Woodstock neighborhood.
Both suspects remained in jail after their arraignment. Their next court appearance was scheduled for Feb. 25.
Remington had an outstanding felony parole violation. He was accused of organized retail theft and multiple first-degree theft charges.
Evans was also accused of organized retail theft and multiple counts of first-degree theft.

This is disturbing on so many levels, not the least of which was the amount of time and loss that safeway allowed to occur after they knew these creeps were stealing from them.
at some point safeway should be held liable as an accomplice to the crime. or at the very least for contributing directly to their loss based on inaction to prevent the loss.
RE: Shoplifting...costs millions - van64 - 03-05-2011
What is astounding is that the couple was able to steal anywhere near $5 million WITHOUT arousing Safeway's suspicions.

If I was a Safeway shareholder, I'd be demanding some answers.
Who was in charge of Loss Prevention? Lindsay Logan?
RE: Shoplifting...costs millions - Lady Cop - 07-23-2011
i did a LOT of U/C shoplifting duty, and my pet annoyance besides the obvious, was people who used and taught their children to steal. is that what they want for the child's future? to be a thief and in and out of jail or prison? it infuriated me each time i encountered it. and i ALWAYS brought childrens' services into it.

WINTER HAVEN Fla.| A shopping trip ended with theft charges for a Lake Wales mother and her young daughter, who are accused of trying to steal about $300 in merchandise.
Alfray Lavern Watts, 35, of 350 W. Park Ave., used her 10-year-old daughter in an attempt to steal from a Bealls department store on Thursday in Winter Haven, police said.
Watts also had her 6-year-old daughter when store security stopped her.
"She's not going to win mother of the year, that's for sure," said Jamie Brown, Winter Haven police spokeswoman.
Watts and her daughters went shopping at the store at 5998 Cypress Gardens Boulevard about 3 p.m., police said.
Watts picked up several items from racks while her 10-year-old did the same in another part of the store, police said. Then they rendezvoused and went into a fitting room together.
When they came out, the merchandise they took was concealed in a Bealls bag. Watts sent her 10-year-old out of the store with the bag, police said. Watts and her other daughter followed.
Store security stopped Watts and her daughters and held them until police arrived.
Watts was booked into Polk County Jail on charges of shoplifting and contributing to the delinquency of a child.
She was being held in lieu of a $1,500 bond Friday evening.
Watts was booked three times last year into the county jail, records show. The incidents included a February 2010 arrest, also on charges of petty theft and contributing to the delinquency of a child.
The 10-year-old was charged with petty theft and taken to the Juvenile Detention Center in Bartow. The 6-year-old turned over to a family member.

for $39. worth of shit, she killed her daughter as well as herself. dumb cow.
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A mother/daughter pair drowned while fleeing after they tried to shoplift underwear, earrrings and a necklace from a store in southeast Charlotte Friday afternoon, police said.
A 16-year-old girl's body was found Saturday after being swept away by flood waters during the getaway from Burlington Coat Factory, police said.
The body of Rianna Tarell Johnson was recovered from the banks of McAlpine Creek Saturday afternoon. Her mother, 43-year-old Gracie Johnson, drowned on Friday after the shoplifting incident and she was found the same day, police said.
It was a sad ending to a story that begin just at 2 p.m. on Friday with an attempted shoplifting of $39 worth of items from a nearby clothing store.
When heavy rains that dumped 6 inches in Charlotte hit the area, two of the suspects from the robbery escaped into waters near the store, police said. One was apprehended immediately and did not enter the water, police said.
A security guard for the store tried to apprehend the two in the water at first, but could not do so alone.
Swift-water crews were later called out to the location at Independence Blvd. and North Sardis Road.
Rescue crews say the creek usually 2 feet deep rose about 10 feet shortly after the rain began.
"Rushing water is extremely dangerous. Oftentimes people mistake how fast, how deep the water is," Kinniburgh said.
The search was called off around 8:30 Friday night and began again at 8:00 Saturday morning.

Arizona man stuffs snakes in his pants, flees store
MESA, Ariz. – A man was arrested on theft charges after police said he was caught on video trying to steal an albino boa constrictor and other exotic reptiles by stuffing them down his pants
Eric Fiegel, 22, was arrested at 3:40 p.m. Tuesday after police reviewed surveillance footage from a pet shop that shows a man stealing baby albino boa constrictors July 30 from Predator's Reptile Center in Mesa by placing them in his pants and exiting the store, according to police.
Police said he reportedly entered the store, removed several baby snakes from their cage, and exited without paying. He allegedly returned later in the evening and left with several more snakes hidden in his pants, police reported.
According to police, Fiegel then traveled to another pet store and traded several of the snakes for $175 and a large reptile tank valued at $175.
A witness obtained a license plate number which police used to locate Fiegel.
Fiegel was later positively identified from a police lineup by two witnesses and also from the surveillance footage that showed him placing the snakes in his pants, according to a police report.

Father, daughter charged in Nashua cook pan caper that used toddler
NASHUA - A city man allegedly used a four-year-old child to help conceal a cooking pan that he stole from a local store on Tuesday.
Donald Long, 47, of 15 South St., allegedly placed the pan down the front of his pants at Home Goods and then held the child he was babysitting in a manner that would hide the stolen merchandise, according to Lt. Jeffrey Bukunt.
“The parents of the child were notified and were unaware of the criminal activities of Mr. Long,” said Bukunt, stressing the child is not related to Long.
The cooking pan, valued at about $140, was not the first item allegedly stolen by Long from the store at 12 Northwest Blvd., according to authorities.
Police allege that Long has been stealing items from Home Goods since March, and that his 21-year-old daughter, Nicole Long, also of 15 South St., was assisting him with the thefts.
“Together, they stole in excess of $1,200 in merchandise,” said Bukunt. According to police, the father would allegedly steal the items, while the daughter would later return the stolen goods in exchange for gift cards to the store.
Police responded to Home Goods on Tuesday for a report of theft. Donald and Nicole Long were both arrested in the parking lot of the facility.
Donald Long was charged with unauthorized taking or transfer and endangering the welfare of a child, a felony. Nicole Long was charged with theft by deception, a misdemeanor.
Bail was set at $2,500 cash or surety for the father, and $750 cash or surety for the daughter. Both were scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday.
If convicted, the elder Long could face up to seven years in prison, while the younger Long could face up to a year in jail, said police.

too damn bad they had rubber bands on their claws! what an asshole. Associated Press
D'IBERVILLE, Miss. -- A man in southern Mississippi is accused of trying to walk out of a D'Iberville grocery store without paying for food items he'd stuffed into his cargo shorts including live lobsters.
Police Chief Wayne Payne says 35-year-old Nathan Mark Hardy was arrested Saturday after allegedly being caught stuffing food into his cargo shorts - two bags of jumbo shrimp, a pork loin and two live lobsters. NICE!
Payne says Hardy, of Biloxi, tried to escape by throwing the pork loin
at employees at the local Winn Dixie but fell while running away. He was arrested at the scene. ASSAULT WITH DEADLY PORK LOIN!! The shoplifting charge is a misdemeanor, but Hardy remained jailed Wednesday in the Harrison County jail with no bond pending a hearing on a probation violation.

RE: Shoplifting - Lady Cop - 11-09-2011
One would think that any thief attempting to steal some new clobber would not want to draw attention to themselves - but rather blend into the background to go about their criminal business unnoticed.
A US shoplifter was finally caught after a video of him dancing was posted on YouTube.
However, 26-year-old DiVietro had other ideas when he entered a Kmart store in Blackwood, Camden County, New Jersey.
DiVietro was seen on CCTV footage dancing animatedly as he checked out the latest t-shirts on offer.
He continued to bounce around making a spectacle of himself as he stuffed items into his waistband, and then proceeded to leave the store.
Having been spotted by security he was challenged by a member of staff, but DiVietro dumped the gear and fled the scene, perhaps thinking he had enjoyed a lucky escape.
However, cops posted the video of the 'Dancing Shoplifter' on YouTube, and it became a viral hit, attracting 70,000 views.
It became so popular that DiVietro was soon recognised and cops swooped to make a belated arrest.
'It's like the old days when you'd go to the post office and see the wanted flyers on the wall,' Detective Chuck Dougherty of the Gloucester Township Police told WPVI-TV.
'Now people can sit at their homes, sit on their phones and watch these videos.'

RE: Shoplifting - Lady Cop - 11-17-2011
stupid bitch. my pet peeve on shoplifting detail, parents who used their kids with no thought for possible consequences. dumbass stinking thieves.
ORLANDO, Fla. (WKMG) - An Orlando woman was arrested Saturday on charges of theft and child cruelty after she was caught shoplifting lacy lingerie in the presence of her children, deputies said.
According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Ashley Fleischmann, 24, was stopped by a plain-clothes loss prevention officer at the Burlington Coat Factory on East Colonial Drive after she passed all points of sale with no point of returning her clothing items.
In the loss prevention office, Fleischmann produced the stolen items from concealed places on her body, all of which had a total value of $84.91, deputies said. Fleischmann told deputies that the articles of clothing were for her to wear at Crystal Cabaret Gentleman's Club, her place of employment. Fleischmann also said that she had planned to make a quick exit from the store and had hoped that the presence of her children would prevent an arrest, deputies said.
Deputies found that Fleischmann had planned to use her children in the commission of a crime, which is a violation of a Florida State Statute that states, "An intentional act that could reasonably be expected to result in physical or mental injury to a child."
Deputies said that Fleischmann willfully subjected two children to be the witnesses of her crime, which appeared to be a traumatic event for the children, who cried while on the scene. Deputies also said that Fleischmann said that she knew that the children didn't have another legal guardian who was able to pick them up from the store on Saturday.
Fleischmann, who was irate and cried continuously during her time in the loss prevention office, was taken into custody and booked into jail, deputies said. Her children were further traumatized, according to deputies, when they were placed in custody of the Department of Children and Families. Fleischmann told deputies that she didn't know the last time that both of the children had eaten a complete meal. BITCH!
During her transport to the booking and receiving center, Fleischmann uttered that she just received the care and custody of her children a week prior and she "couldn't believe this was happening again," deputies said. TRASH!

RE: Shoplifting - cladking - 11-17-2011
I have no sympathy for shoplifters even if they die trying to get away but stores have no right to attach anything to anyone's property but their own and should be held legally accountable. Maybe the CEO would like someone to track the movement of his wife and children. This is invasion of privacy and I wouldn't mind seeing them lose a huge lawsuit.
Actually most "shrinkage" in retail establishments isn't caused by shoplifting at all. It is caused by the owners or managers removing merchandise for personal use. They not only don't pay taxes on such things but even can write it off on taxes in most cases. It's essentially free and paid for by the taxpayer. It's been estimated that well over 60% is caused by this and less than 25% by shoplifters. White collar crime and all sorts of shenanigans are typical now days. It's a culture of greed. Most people simply think it doesn't matter how they acquire something merely that they did. CEO's are destroying the country openly and half the country would shoplift if they thought they could get away with it.
