 Meat thief on the loose.

 A lady in SC stole $1,500 worth of meat from a grocery - they have a photo of her so will probably be able to apprehend her soon. She was in one of those motorized carts; I guess that's how she was able to stash all that meat!

 Although - come to think of it - $1,500 worth of meat probably wouldn't take up that much space nowadays!  Smiley Tongue

That sounds more like greed than need.    Hope she is found.

I saw the picture.   Her little basket on the scooter was full to the brim.  

 

This is the way I look at it.   I do hate a thief but if you can't stop someone on a scooter from stealing,  you deserve it.   I'm not going to help you find her.    Good grief.

@software  ITA!  Not one store employee saw this woman riding out the store w/a basket full of meat?  Did they think she forgot her bags?

The problem being now days you can't stop someone on a scooter without being sued, shot, publicly defamed and vilified, and made out to the the criminal rather than the thief, who was only a poor victim to begin with.

 

So you call the cops and let them be sued, shot, publicly defamed and vilified and made out to be the bad guys.

We all pay for these thiefs.... 

 

 There have been similar cases here and this was WAY WAY before the pandemic, shortages, and  inflation.....thankfully these folks were caught..

 

One kind of amusing ways one of the thiefs was caught is he hid some steaks under his cap....but the blood from the meat dripped down on his face, and an employee approached him thinking he was injured and needed some help and found out the real cause of his bloody face...and the police were called.....🙄

How did they come to that figure?  The person is on a scooter.  A one year old could have caught up with her. 

 

Here in my area, if your purchases aren't bagged, you have to show a receipt. Where were the Greeters?

 

Is it cold in that area or was that a disguise?

 

It pays to cover your nose properly with the mask. This will be her takedown.
