This afternoon I had to stop at my local Safeway on my way home from work for a few things, which is pretty common. As I walked up to the door someone walked out quite fast with one of those little half carts. As he walked out the shoplifter alarm went off and the brake on the cart locked up almost flipping the cart and spilling stuff out. The guy ignored the stuff that fell on the ground and began casually loading the groceries into a car that pulled up with thumping music. Some old man trying to be a good seminarian picked up the stuff that fell on the ground and set it in the cart. I walked inside and some employees were gathering to watch the guy. In a few seconds a manager walked up, I said "He's right there loading it into his car." The manager walked out and sort of confronted them but the guy just ignored him, got int the car and it drove off.
After getting the stuff I needed I was driving away when I noticed a wheelchair behind the Sub place across the parking lot. There was someone in the wheelchair bent over with his hand on the ground. He looked like he may need medical help so I pulled over and asked if he needed help, he sat up a bit and replied "No I'm fine" even though he certainly didn't look fine, what he looked like was a junkie on heroin. So I left.
On my way out of the parking lot a guy was crossing in front of me holding a rotisserie chicken with no bag which usually means it's stolen but he stopped and told me how much he liked my truck, which is always nice to hear but this has just gone too far! I'm so tired of watching everything around where I live deteriorate. Nobody does anything to stop anybody from stealing. There is a place down the street from this Safeway where I sometimes pick apples and plums where I often find stolen purses that have been thrown into the bushes after being emptied of any valuables, I've even found a laptop computer there.
The other day I stopped at the auto parts place for some transmission fluid. There was one other customer in there and while I was looking at the fluid options one of the two people who work there walked up and started talking to me about the truck. He saw the other "customer" walk past the window and casually told me "He didn't pay for any of that." The guy just took stuff and walked out and the employee told me they aren't going to do anything about it, it happens all the time and they just let them do it. I asked if that meant I could have the transmission fluid for free but paid for it anyway.
I'm thinking about sitting outside Safeway from noon til 3 and film all the people shoplifting and posting the videos on my Youtube channel. When I was in Detroit in '05 I invented a game I called "Hooker Spotting" where you drove around certain neighborhoods to spot hookers and rate them based on various characteristics like plumage, aggressiveness, apparent expense...etc. I wish I had made a youtube channel doing that but I'm thinking I might do a rating system something like that for the shoplifter and start posting videos of it.
