Have you ever been accused of shoplifting?

The Patriot

Yes. And I was innocent!

RANDY MANDY

no not strong enough to lift one

Yes - tried on a couple of expensive designer tops in a little boutique in my town. Neither of them looked right, so I put them back on the rails. As I walked down the street, the shop assistant came charging after me holding an empty coathanger in her hand. Apparently it was left in the changing room, which she was meant to check every time it was used. I let her rummage through my bag; of course she found nothing but then demanded I go back to the shop and take off my clothes! I told her to ring the police if she wanted me to do that, and just walked off. Crazy silly bint should've done her job properly in the first place!

I have been accused,wrongfully! I was in Belk in Aberdeen NC and they grabbed me because I spoke to gut who was actually stealing. If you go inside of Belk in Aberdeen NC be careful they are watching you and the will accuse you of stealing even if the cameras show that you were not!

Colin-why?

No---But I have accused shops of over charging

No. Shoplifter is just a nicer word for "Thief".

Animemadness

No but if you are accused in the UK you can tell the security guard to arrest you only the police have the right to arrest you if the guard does and you haven't stolen anything you can sue him for the big bucks :P
Some lawyer told me but i wonder wether he is in date

Everona97

No, I don't and I teach my kids to avoid that too... It is a nightmare when I do shopping and my little one just take something and do... I have to get back and explain what happened, Even if it is a chewing gum. But most of the time I am on my guard and ...no , I am not a shoplifter

Stole some sweets from local shop one time. Changed my mind and decided to put em back, this is when I got caught. Banned from shop... how embarrasing!

manunitedgolfer

Nope. Why, have you?

davetherave

Whey no, To be honest.I have never ever taken anything without paying,just like MOST normal people. It,s so sad that any-one ,should be reduced to such level. Regards;

Nope, I haven't.

Charles & Elizabeth C

Yes. When I was just a young kid my father and I had gone to a dime store. I was looking at cheap, but very colorful bracelets while he shopped for some plumbing supplies. When he checked out the lady at the counter asked him to pay for the bracelets I had stolen. There were none! My father totally unloaded on this lady in my defense. Still makes me feel good that he believed in me on that occasion. I never shoplifted and after that happened I never did because I didn't want to disappoint my father.

Richard K

Ya and I wasn't stealing anything.
I never shopped in that store again and I never will.

Unixxx

Yhh when i was 6 i stole a barbie from woolworths! dont know how it happened!

confusedgirl

It never went that far, but I did get stopped once after I'd left a shop. My friend are were about 13 at the time, "Miss Selfridge" had not long opened in London, and we were so excited to have shopped there. Someone forgot to take a security tag of one of our purchases, so the alarm went off when we left the store. We were only a few feet outside, chatting excitedly about having done this trendy shop, when a sales assistant ran up and accosted us! I was mortified and very scared, but I did have the presence of mind to insist that SHE carry the bag back into the shop as I didn't want everyone staring at me. It was horrible, and they didn't even apologise when they realised it was their mistake. Totally ruined the day for us.

Zealander

NO.

My husband works in retail and theives are the bane of his life. He spends as much time dealing with these scum as he does running his store. He has been attacked on countless occasions with knives, bats, chains, etc, but he is given no protection by the government as they treat shoplifting as a soft crime.

bert

What! with a back like mine !

Andy

King of my house

Nope, Never, I only take things then just put em back where they was =] But, the peoples stuff I took em off never knew about it =P

Equinox

Nope.

There was this one time that the cashier didn't charge me for sweets though. Either it was a special offer or she didn't see it. Either way I put the sweets into my bag in front of her eyes and still she said nothing, so I assume it was a special offer (even though there was no sign).
