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.
