I was buying beer at a mini-mart a few weeks ago, and the cashier saw someone blatantly pocket something and walk out, and called him out as he went out the door, I managed to get the plate number of the car he got in and wrote it down for her. I'd like to think something came from it, although realistically, probably not. But the dumbass would also be on camera and he or his dumb friend parked their car right in front of the huge ass plate glass window, so even if I didn't jot the plate down, they were probably already on film.
Fuck a thief.
