I saw a thief and said nothing iin?

I was at the market and I saw a lady put a block of cheese under the hood of the pram. I didn't think too much about until I was behind her at the checkout, she only bought a couple of things. But no cheese She was confident and chatty.
I did not mention anything and I did see a square shape under the folded down hood. Would others do the same and say nothing?

I would do the same 69
I would say something 32
I wouldn't give it a thought 27
I would talk to her about it outside 16

    Supermarkets pay insurance. Insurance goes up if they have to claim off it. If their operating costs rise, they pass that cost onto us, the consumer. That person didn't steal cheese from a supermarket. She stole it from you. And me. And everyone else. If you want her to have free cheese then you buy it with your own money and give it to her. You shouldn't co-opt me into this little arrangement without my say-so. I absolutely love cheese and would love the chance to have some for free. What I wouldn't love is other people having free cheese, and me paying for it. Which is kind of what has happened.

    I think of it this way,'' If I stop him/her/it, I'll probably take a bullet to the mouth, but if I leave him/her/it alone I'll be okay''!

  • Lots of people would do the same, I think it's called the Kitty Genovese effect.

    I would let the bitch fly if she gave me a quick hand job. Out of sight of the kid of course, I'm not a total barbarian.

      Agreed I would totally exploit this thief with blackmail until this woman serviced me with a good mouth "hello" because dirty deeds need to be done dirt cheap and criminals brought to justice

    It's wrong. She is probably gonna buy a bag of crack with the money she saved from cheese. Thieves need to be punished. I woulda broke a window on her car and tell her to steal one to fix it.

    • with all that money she saved from stealing cheese she could buy all kinds of super weapons that, like turn babies into gold, or screw with the weather.

    She might get a thrill from shop lifting. Good thing it's just cheese. But maybe she's not well off and can't exactly afford the basics easily. Oh well, either way, it's just cheese.

    I think I would have to say something. If there was no security guard I'd probably stare at her or remind her at the checkout that she's forgotten about the cheese on the pram - with a smile :o)

    Shoplifting is a major crime and it's not just the poor who do it. Apparently statistics show that the well-off are now shoplifting as they refuse to live without their luxuries just because of the recession. I think it would be so funny to see some snooty bitch getting caught.

      Hey Joy Bird:

      Have to agree with you all the way. Five finger discounting is a crime and should be punished. You stated my thoughts perfectly and thank-you ever-so-much and take care.

    I'd slip a shot of them with my camera phone. It can either be blackmail, or eye witness proof.

  • there was a time in my high school were these two kids cut in front of my friend and me tho i was upset i didnt say any thing then when the security guard was passing by my friend slyly whispered to the guard that the two in front of us were cuting and as if nothing happened went back talking to me that was amazing after that i never saw saying the right thing as snitchin or anything i think that the lady in front of you deserves to be punished you should have the confidence to tell too
