How did my daughter steal all this stuff?

Question

My daughter admitted that when she was 15, she and her friend stole loads of stuff. She's now just turned 17, she told me because she felt guilty. It was too late for her to give the product back to the stores, so we agreed she would earn the money back and give it to charity. But the question, how on earth did she steal things like this, without getting caught...

because she said she just picked this up and left the store, is this possible? Could she have got caught and not told me :S. Surely this would set off alarms etc.

Answer 1

if it was in a Sephora, i can see where it didn't set off alarms. and some stores only do that with some products, so it'll be a random chance you get caught.

Answer 2

small products like that are not worth having antitheft protection on

she probably has been busted by store clerks and since plenty of them are young women themselves then she probably cried her way out of trouble

she could have had a girlfriend working in the store that let her walk through the checkout and only buying a stick of gum

we had a case where a young male had $80 of hunting gear, walked past the store manager who was watching him the whole time, the kid grabbed two candy bars off the counter shelf, his buddy is cashier and rang up just the candy bars and put them in the bag with the hunting gear. Store manager aleady knows a young male is rarely going to have the money to buy those items without a father with them. The kid walked out the store. Manager told the cashier to print out the last receipt. The cashier stuttered that he only bought a couple of candy bars. Manager slammed his hand on the counter and demanded a copy of the receipt. Manager took the receipt and found the kid in the parking lot and got him back into the store. Two cops showed up. Cashier and the young male are both crying as their parents came to the store. I did not hear a follow up on the young male other than being 18 and his name published in the area newspaper. The cashier's name was also in the newspaper so all four grandparents, aunts, uncles, anyone in the area with that last name have throughly screamed at him for dirtying the family name. Bring this up with your daughter. Those two guys will live with this bad memory. Every holiday, I bet those kids will notice that they are treated like they will steal again when showing up at a relatives place for a holiday meal. I bet his grandparents/parents will never forget it. What is worse? A month in jail or a lifetime of relatives punishing you?

Answer 3

tell her to not steal, it's a sin.

moreover why would somebody steal these kind of things being cheap? LOL

she maybe ran away running with the stuff in her pockets to not bother.

Answer 4

I've walked out of stores with a box of software in my hand without even noticing.



It's not really that difficult.

Answer 5

Because she wasn't brought up right.
