When I was being trained for patrol one of my first calls was a shoplifter at Walmart. Want to know what they tried to steal? A pre-lit Christmas tree. Nothing says you love the Lord than stealing for 'His birthday"! And don't forget the dresses stolen every year around Easter-so they can have one to wear to church! smh

Nothing new. About 25 years ago we had a Wal-Mart in a nearby neighborhood, and they shut the store down due to the huge losses from shoplifting.

Shop lifting at Walmart? Happens every day. Some get caught, some don't. The local Walmart here posts pictures on Facebook when somebody gets caught on camera wheeling out a cart full of stuff. A lot of times it results in ID and arrest.

Speaking of Walmart;
Yesterday at Walmart, I don't think I've been so ticked off and embarrassed before in my my whole life. I had gone up to the service counter and asked the lady for some toilet paper.

She screamed at the top of her voice, "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!" So, I politely apologized, turned around and shuffled back to the bathroom with my pants still down around my ankles

Probably 90% of my townships police activity is connected to our Walmart. The vast majority is retail theft, with most of the thieves traveling from neighboring communities. We have also had some assaults, a stabbing, and the parents who left their kids locked in the car while they went Christmas shopping. They made sure the kids were safe, they left them with a loaded 9mm pistol and some meth. Oh, and we had the two Walmart employees who tortured and killed their infant child.

I’m not a big Walmart fan, but when I go to one it’s the one 20 miles away. It’s much nicer than the one near me, and I’ve never arrested anyone there.

I was dumpster diving for moving boxes in school 40 years ago. Found a treasure trove of nice boxes at K-mart. I was loading them up and saw one was not broken down and was still intact. I pull it out—it’s HEAVY! I open in, top-of-the-Norelco Razor, nice 35 mm camera, popular albums, sneakers, etc. I take the box to he front of the store and cashier calls the manager. He tells me it was a common way for employees to steal, loading up the trash and “throwing it away.” Then they would come back before the trash man came and grab the loaded box.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Local paper yesterday had a store about a WM employee who had loaded $16,000 dollars onto gift cards he took.

I never quite understood people that hold up a Dollar General. How much cash could there actually be in that register??

Take it from Mayberry USA; stealing from Walmart is bold!!
They have the premier security system.

Makes me want to sing that great old college drinking song about Big Jim Folsom-
Now he sits in the legislature,
Making laws for all mankind
While she walks the streets of Cullman, Alabama
Selling grapes from her grapevine.

Sadly, these days some jurisdictions don't ever charge these scumbags.

Last Sunday at noon I was at the local Walmart and two guys with surgical masks were frantically stuffing two large LED tv boxes into the back seat of a Lexus. Cardboard covering the license plates...... peeled off after barely being able to shut the back door. Walmart had no clue they were just robbed.
Sign of things to come.

We used to hire temps. They would brag about working the overnight shift stocking shelves and help employees carry stuff out the back door.
On a smaller scale, there's lots who will get a cup of chicken nuggets at the deli, eat them while shopping, leave the cup on a shelf and never pay for it.
Lots of unethical, dishonest people out there. Almost as bad as Congress.

I have see meth heads walk whole shopping carts full of big screen TVs right out the front door at a WalMart. Others have stolen computers, TVs, etc., and taken carts out a back door. They only got caught when they came back to do it again for the third time. You wouldn’t believe how much big stuff gets stolen from them.

 

[druryj]

Almost very time I go to the Walmart near my house I see a police car sitting right in front so they don’t have to perp walk the scumbag too far. But I also try not go to Walmart unless I just have to.

You might be surprised... lots of purchases... mostly cash...

I worked in one of thier tire shops for a couple years right out of high school, manager used to leave tires out for display in our lobby.... until 12 of them walked out the front door one night around 2am.

The inner city Walmart where I have to shop for my elderly mother's food and supplies has such a theft & crime problem it's hard to fathom. Walmart keeps trying everything under the sun to keep things under some sort of control, but the thieves keep finding ways around it. They still manage to make money because EBT card holders do shop there in very large numbers. No need to steal what the government is willing to buy for you.

I find it all very depressing, but at least for a little while longer, Walmart is an unavoidable necessity given her location and our respective budgets.
