Holy crap, every freaking day now grown and middle age adults are shoplifting at Wal Mart! And those are? just the ones there and the ones that get caught.
This is freaking insane. Are these people really that stupid? Obviously they are scum but that stupid?
Dont they realize people get caught every freaking day?
Do they WANT to go to jail?
Well lock them up and keep them there away from us.

Captain Ed i.ve had family members accused of stealing and drug use by the cops. Screw you and the horse you rode in on Ed.

Your sweet. And thanks!
I didnt say people that dont steal and are wrongly accused of something are scum.
You should be at least smart enough to realize that.
Then again maybe not.
But people who ARE hard drug abusers(since you brought it up) and hurt people or steal from them ARE scum. Most people who dont do that would agree.
Its pretty much that simple.
Sorry to hear that police are allegedly targeting your family and setting them up. I have not heard about any of that.
Gotta get back to my horse...

I had a similar response to Capt Ed although don't go as far as calling anyone scum...but, what is the deal. These are adults and are stealing $25.00 or $100.00 worth of stuff....and it seems like it is every day....is stealing especially such minimum amounts of stuff really worth a record and jail time???? Can't even imagine how much Walmart's and other box stores lose as this these amounts start adding up...very sad for everyone.

lets go to the video tape

Doesnt matter how much the value is. If your a grown thief and stealing you deserve jail time and a record. I know we like to think its 15 year old unwed mothers that cant afford food for their starving child that are stealing but the reality is thats not even close. And we all know it. Its more and more often 30-50 year old dirt bags with records and are drug users and looking for something for money or they think they are entitled to that big screen tv they cant afford. Read the patch reports?
So now YOU AND I have to pay even more to make up for theft.
If these were KIDS stealing a hat for a prank I would surely give them a break. But they are NOT usually.

Stuff it sherm.

Screw walmart they can afford to lose a few bucks

Here we go again. Blaming everyone except the losers committing the crimes. Keep catching them and calling the police. Sooner or later the system will be forced to deal with them.

Walmart's like the Lacey township bug zapper. Everyday the police gotta go over and pick up all the zapped bugs.

Geez pot smoking device caught on shoplifter!....How about walking down the halls of Lacey High School with drug sniffing dog and see how much stuff you find! It will making this look like a bubble gum thief!

Well the pocketbook at FOHO should be a easy one as they have a lot of cameras

Corsair that was funny. Walmart for these shoplifters is like the raid roach motel " they check in but they dont check out". Nj Ghost what are you five years old? . sounds like you have more to worry about than comments on the patch if you say your family have been "falsely" accused of drugs and stealing. Maybe we,ll catch you on an episode of " intervention" on the A&E channel.

"processed and released on a summons" for robbery? Thats whats wrong with this picture. Lock them up for a year for 1st timers and see if they continue to steal.

It's only robbery if she assaulted someone during the theft. However I agree lock them up and let them see what jail is like for a year. No cell phones or privacy.

Honestly everyone has there own opion and stealing is not the right thing to do but i do realize sometimes ppl are bad off in life and have no money or very little money and start thinking bad thoughts about going into stores and stealing cause they feel like cetain shit is owed or they where bought up the wrong way in life and jus want
