Shoplifting on the rise

[DotCommunist]

I got a lifetime ban from HMV. Sounded bad/cool as a teenager but unsurprisingly I proved to be not as high profile a concern as I thought.

Morrisons for me. I've defied the ban a few times in the last 20 yrs so they must have dropped their guard

And surely everyone nicked a jazz mag inside a newspaper as a kid...

WH Smiths for me but I've never listened to it.

I used to hide my News of the World inside my copy of High School Anal and walk out with my righteous head held high.

 

[Wilf]

mate, if I was a seagull I would be on the rob the whole time, which thinking about it, is kind of the point of been a seagull. And check the woman who wants to call crimestoppers.

Yeah, I wondered about that. What was she going to do, put the mangled sandwich back on the shelf?

No.

I love how it didn't like the look of the first one so it dumped it on the floor and grabbed another.

There was a paper recycling plant near where I used to live which had loads. I built up quite a collection before my parents noticed

Interesting sign in local supermarket. Not that shoplifters will get a criminal record but rather that they risk it. An important distinction.

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

It’s like the 2500 pound fine for stopping an escalator. I bet you don’t.
In fact the only time I stopped one no one asked me whether or not my actions were legitimate.

Or the £1000 fine for TV licence evasion, which almost nobody ever gets hit with.

Shop lifters also risk getting goodies for free

Or the risk of prosecution for failing to register for the voters register. Haven't heard of one single case personally.

My collection seemed to grow under hedges. I remember (circa 1980 or so) a mate calling round the house breathless with excitement saying that he’d found the motherlode in the field behind the dairy. It had been built over some considerable time as there were mags that dated back to the 60s!

Waitrose/John Lewis are offering free coffees to popo "in a bid to deter shoplifters." Hard times.

John Lewis Partnership, which owns both brands, has written to the Police Federation to say officers can make the most of the offer - as long as they bring a reusable cup.

Its head of security said that even just having a police car parked outside might deter would-be thieves.

In John Lewis, police officers will be able to use staff cafeterias for breaks and buy discounted food there too.

A light fingered type may have stolen them from an aged stalk tugger's home and kept them there for future rod tuning.

Nice to see JLPartnership are picking up tips from my local kebab shop.

Following some threatening letters an inspector visited the flat me and a mate were renting and refused to cross the threshold insisting he believed us. Idk maybe I look like John Wayne Gacy or something

Did you specifically invite him in? He might've been a vampire.

I'd like to see the greedy, rapey cunts try that on at our Croydon waitrose.

 

[ouirdeaux]

There's a Waitrose in Croydon?

 

[Elpenor]

Is a cop going to walk around with their own mug to take advantage of this promotion? Not convinced - I suspect this is a Waitrose press release masquerading as a news story

There was; the fuckers closed it.

how do you shoplift a kebab?

Maybe the minging one left on a table with flies on it?

 

[savoloysam]

I've seen people trying it on at a busy take away late at night trying to take advantage of the queues waiting for their orders, jumping in with "where's my so and so, I have been waiting ages" the shop were wise to it though and an argument would pursue.

I think it's more about encouraging members of the uniformed people to attend in an attempt to reduce general bad behaviour amongst customers. I think accepting hand outs from businesses should be a disciplinary but as with teachers who are allowed to receive shed loads of offerings from parents it has become common practice.

I've yet to see any of these purported shed loads of free shit. But if there was any free shit, myself and any other teacher would gladly trade it in to get back all the hours we work for free.

We'd also be quite happy if, instead of bringing in imaginary bribes for teachers, parents adequately clothed, fed and socialised their children.
