What if they broke into you home and stole from you? Would you be so sympathetic. Having no job, does not give anyone the right to steal from any other person or store. These people are too embarrassed to go for assistance if they need it, and would rather have their names in the paper for theft.

It's totally clear that every post you make is to just aggravate people. You're definitely an amusing individual. I do have a question though. If you have a bigger, nicer, more expensive tv then me do I have the right to just come into your house and take it? If you could afford it then you could afford the loss no?

This Dunsmuir character is certainly in the news for shoplifting often. Looks like her and her husband have a problem:

Do thief's get a pass because the store can afford a lost. So the paying people make up the losses.

Are some people really that ridiculous that they leave cars, sheds, bikes and even homes unlocked? And what about the morons that keep stealing from Walmart? So many get caught that you think some of them might get a hint.
I know first hand how hard things are as I am in the same boat as most of these people, but damn! Is it worth leaving your kids without a home or parents to try and steal a few items?

Got caught stealing large amounts of merchandise twice . . . I don't need to know "the whole story". Seems like the entire area knows about these people, they seem to blame everyone but themselves.

They only people who need to get a life are this couple, they need help.

I wonder how much time/money the Lacey Twp Police Department spends on Wal-Mart shoplifting offenses. With sending an officer to the store a few times a day and all time spent on paperwork, I would hope Lacey at least breaks even on this "ratable." You don't read about this happening at Kohls or Home Depot as often.

@ Lobotomy...maybe Kohls and Home Depot's loss prevention unit isn't as great as Walmarts? Oh and I love how you make it a bad thing that Walmart catches shoplifters...*smh.

If I'm not mistaking Walmart pays somewhere in the $300.000 range for taxes. I doubt very much they are taking up $300.000 worth of resources.

I don't know what's worse in this area. The scumbags that continuously rob and steal or the idiots that come on the patch and blame everyone except the people committing the crimes. We can't blame Walmart, Kohls, Home Depot or any other business that may come here. Theses scumbags have been around all along but they were stealing from ShopRite, Ace Hardware and all the other mom and pop businesses around town that don't really have the means to deal with it. If they caught someone they'd just get the merchandise back and kick them them out. With the social media we have today these issues can be brought more to the forefront. I say to all the loss prevention people, keep up the great work and continue to catch these losers. Eventually the judge will get tired of seeing them and be forced to lock them up. These businesses pay hundreds of thousands in taxes and deserve to be able to protect their assets and utilize the Lacey Township Police whenever needed. Just face the facts. The area is growing and that means more people which means more businesses to accommodate them. Most of the people will be honest, law biding citizens but with those there will be some trash. Nothing we can do about it.

Its greatly amusing that these idiots are continuously trying to steal from Walmart. People are constantly getting caught and these scholars keep on trying, thinking that ’they’ won't get caught. I guess they really don't have a brain in that head of theirs. Whats even more amusing is the Pulitzer prize winners who go in and attempt to steal while they have drugs on them, its unreal, hahaha, no pity.

my son-in-law works for a WalMart in another town as a loss prevention officer. They have cameras all over the store and a room filled with monitors and securtiy people watching your every move. If you so much as pick your nose, they will know. The reason so many try to steal is because they think they know how to do it better and not get caught. Kohl's and HOme Depot don't have the same security set up so you don't hear about all the shoplifting. And I agree with PIney Boy. Just because someone has and you have not, does not give you the right to steal it.
