How horrible for your fine sons to be attacked. I hope they both recovered completely from their injuries. Were the low life scum found and arrested?

Thank you @Silver Lining...the broken nose healed, the brain injury has a permanent shunt to drain fluid from his brain. He has some memory impairment but we are so so lucky we didn't lose him.

The two attackers were caught, we weren't able to collect a dime from either one.

I can't tell you how sorry I am for that to have happened. Plus, no restitution, that really angers me.

Since this happened on the job, I'm assuming that Workers Comp took care of their medical bills .... and I hope they are okay.

Re: Shoplifter at Nordstrom Rack

I was in Walmart and went through the self checkout with a good amount of items. I paid and went to my car and as I was loading the bags into my trunk I noticed the lipstick I had picked out still in my cart. I immediately went back in and paid for it, and I was so upset with myself for not double checking. Now, I make sure there is nothing. I don't know how ppl do it?! I felt terrible and the lady said, no one would have known and I replied, that I would have and I'm not that kind of person.

Yesterday at Mother's Day dinner, my father-in-law told my husband and me that a good friend of him and my mother-in-law's was standing at a lottery ticket machine in the grocery store with her cart of groceries pushed to the side of her but only about 2 feet away.  While she was putting her money in the machine, someone walked off with her cartload of groceries! 


That happened to me at Walmart.  I had a cart of groceries and some sewing notions and other small stuff.  It was on a Sunday and there was a bake sale right beside the  outside door with items donated by my DH's favorite bakery.

 

I stopped to look, didn't buy anything and went to my car.  When a I got there, at noticed that I had the wrong cart.  There was one of those large bottles of water that go on a water despenser in the cart that I had and remembered that the man in front of me in line purchased one of those.

 

So, I took the cart back to the front of the store and found the man.  I explained that I had his cart in error, gave it to him but I couldn't find my cart anywhere.

 

Someone apparently took mine and I took someone else's.  I called security and they drove all over the parking lot looking for my cart.

 

About 10 minutes later a Good Samaritan came by pushing a cart back to the store and said they found it in the middle of the lot.  I was my cart with most of the groceries removed.  The sewing stuff and some garden things were still there.  My thief was picky,

 

I lost about $150 worth of groceries that day.  I never told DH.  I was so embarrassed that at was so lame and not paying attention.  I was so stupid.

 

It was an expensive lesson that will not happen again.

 

Those thiefs are fast and they are good.  I hope they wake up some morning and get a case of the guilts.  They deserve it.

... If they tried to stop the couple, they would have to pay for lawyers to prosecute them and just possibly be sued for "false arrest". Surprised, but I guess that's the way of the world these days - at least for this store.


 

This is not true. If someone commits a crime, you do not pay for an attorney to prosecute them, the District Attorney's office takes over the case and prosecutes them.
