Teen Professional Shoplifter Caught!
Posted by Joe - 22/12/07 at 11:12:49 pmHere’s a story from Columbus, OH, where a teen has been caught with $5,000.00 in stolen merchandise. She is being considered a "professional shoplifter".
COLUMBUS, Ohio Dec. 22, 2007
– An 18-year-old is facing numerous theft charges this morning for allegedly stealing nearly $5,000 worth of goods this year from numerous retailers in the area.
Amber Ricchi has four warrants out for her arrest after reportedly being involved in nine incidences of theft at area stores, including Meijer, Target and Kohl’s, reported by area news sources and police.
This may sound amazing to us, but the fact is that 25% of all shoplifters are kids. Do you wonder why? Well, it could be because a great many adult shoplifters steal while their kids are present. Here are a couple of examples: "Family Goes Shoplifting", "How’s This For Parenting", "More Parenting Geniusry".
According to recent studies, 89% of all kids know other kids who shoplift regularly, and 55% of adult shoplifters say they started shoplifting in their teens. This is becoming epidemic.

Wow I am amazed at the amount she shoplifted in one year. It sad when families teach this to the children. I have heard of a case where a family used the 8 or 9 year to pick up the items and then put them in the babies stroller. – Ashley
