A while back I was in the lingerie section of an upscale department store. As I walked toward the area where the SA was arranging things she looked at me. At the same time a very large man with a heavy coat grabbed a bra and began to shove it in his jacket. The shoplifter saw me about the same time looking at what he was doing. As he opened his jacket I could easily see the bra inside his coat.
I didn't yell as he took off, but as soon as the SA was near me I told her that the guy had stolen an expensive bra. She called security, but they decided not to pursue him.
Have you ever observed a shoplifter while shopping and what happened?
