Loss Prevention Is Not Sales Prevention

Browsing Posts tagged shoplifter

Tiffany Lynn Boatwright allegedly took her 10-month-old daughter shoplifting on Wednesday at her local Walmart. According to police reports, she shoplifted over $300.00 worth of merchandise, including perfume, diapers, and some new undies. Then when she attempted to exit the store and was approached by store loss prevention, she put her baby at risk by fighting with the LP folks. Anybody want to nominate Tiffany for Mom of the year?

Okay, so they aren’t a legitimate drug company; in fact, they’re not a company at all, but a trio from South Haven, MI, were arrested after police detained a 40-year-old female for retail fraud. She led the police to her accomplices, who were waiting in their car, with their meth lab.

All three were arrested and charged with retail fraud. A 46-year-old male subject was also charged with operating a meth lab.

Now this is multi-tasking. Let’s go shoplifting, and oh, yeah! Let’s cook some meth while we’re at it. It’s a sad state of affairs when drug manufacturers have to subsidize by shoplifting :-)

Natasha Caines, 33, of Queens, NY, was nabbed by cops in Braintree, MA, after she allegedly stole some Nautica apparel from Macy’s. She was observed by loss prevention agents trying to remove sensor tags from high end jackets. When she couldn’t get them off, she picked out the Nautica merchandise, that was not tagged, and then exited the store with it. She was observed placing the merchandise into a Mercedes. She then proceeded to walk away, but was detained by police.

mercedesPolice found two watches in Caines’ purse that had apparently been shoplifted from nearby Gap. Upon searching the Mercedes, police recovered over $1,150.00 worth of merchandise, mostly clothing and jewelry, presumably stolen by Caines from area retailers, including Talbots, J. Crew, Aldo Accessories, Forever 21, and Arden B.

Of course, she was only charged with shoplifting from Macy’s, and for possession of stolen property for the watches. The stuff in the Mercedes was returned to the stores, but none of them pressed charges.

I wonder if she drives a Mercedes because she can afford it from all that shoplifting. I mean, $1,150.00 in one haul is a pretty good day. This is pure speculation, but I also wonder if she drove all the way there from NY just to shoplift, or was she just visiting and decided to go on a shoplifting spree while she was there?

Oh, I know. The economy made her do it ;-)

As always, your comments are welcome here.

Don’t shoplift from a sex shop. But, if you must, don’t get caught. 33-year-old Melody Sanders of Fort Walton Beach, FL, was caught shoplifting several kinky items, including a Triple Indulgence Personal Massager, a Spartacus Leather Thong Whip, Climax Tingling Lube, and Sex Tarts Lemonade Lube from an Intimate Treasures retail store back in late December.

When the car she was a passenger in was pulled over by police, guess what else they found. You guessed it, 3 rocks of cocaine and a glass tube. Three guesses what ole Melody was planning.

Mark Zachary of Orangeburg, SC, is apparently neither a good shoplifter nor liar. Last Wednesday, he was found guilty of shoplifting an $80 steak from Reid’s Grocery in August last year. When caught, after a brief attempt to get away, he told police and store employees that he was just “massaging the meat”. Yep, he was massaging the meat, not stealing it. He wasn’t going to take it, just borrow it so he could, umm, massage it. He was sentenced to 10 years for the shoplifting conviction. Why so long for a shoplifting? It was his ninth offense.

We just have one question: Hey Mark, just exactly HOW were you massaging the meat, there, pal? Have fun in prison.
