National Shopliting Day?

This morning I was wandering Target, (Mark was home with the girls who were still sick. The boys were at school.) I saw a teenaged girl being led out of the store, very quietly, in handcuffs. It sort of broke my heart. I don't know what she did, perhaps she's a habitual shoplifter who just got caught, but I've learned not to make those judgement calls. We rarely know the whole story behind something we see.

This evening I was at Mervyn's with Bubba shopping for a couple of things he needed. I was in the Men's department right by the door, and Bubba had gone out to the car to look at the size of a shirt we had out there. I looked up when I heard running, and as I did, saw a 40ish year old guy with two huge stacks of Levi's running out the door. The sensor on the door went off, but none of the cashier's even looked up. Those things go off so often. I yelled at them what had happened and then walked out the door to see if I could still see him. Bubba was just coming back, and had seen the car driving away, but didn't get a license plate number. We gave our little bit of info to the manager so she could tell the police, but it wasn't much.

I've decided that in order to keep any other stores from losing anything else today I'll be staying home!
