it's overdue...a thread about walmart.
the shoplifter's mecca
Arizona--->
Chandler police are asking the public's help in identifying and locating three suspects from a brazen shoplifting early Saturday morning. Around 3 am, police say the two women and one man entered the Walmart on Germann Rd. near Gilbert Rd. and went through the store, filling a shopping cart with alcoholic beverages.
According to Detective David Ramer, the trio then walked out of the store with the shopping cart, without paying for the booze. A store employee confronted them, at which point the male suspect reportedly punched the employee in the face several times.
After the three took the shopping cart to their car and loaded the stolen merchandise into it, the male suspect took a shotgun from the car and returned to the store entrance, where he told employees who had gathered there to go back inside the store. Then, the suspect fired a shot toward the employees, hitting a store window. No one was injured.
The suspects' car is described as a silver Dodge Neon, license plate unknown. The suspects themselves are all described as being in their 20s, heavy set, with brown skin – possibly Hispanic, Native American, or Pacific Islander. (See surveillance photos below)
Anyone with information on their identity is urged to call Chandler Police at (480) 782-4130. You can also leave an anonymous tip on the Chandler police website at http://www.chandlerpd.com .

i am not sure that's a legit psychiatric condition, i'd have to go look in DSM. but i promise you, if it is, it's rare. all the THOUSAND shoplifters i have busted were just garden-variety flat-out dirty thieves. i could write a book just on shoplifters and their games. some of it pretty damn funny.
