Loss Prevention Is Not Sales Prevention

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?

I don’t make these up, folks.

In Sacramento, CA, 38-year-old grandma Felicia Renee Harris walked into a local Marshall’s and boosted over $100 in men’s clothing by concealing them under her baby granddaughter, who was in a stroller.

When  Harris was approached by loss prevention, she attacked, using the baby and stroller as a weapon, and then letting the stroller, with baby inside, roll across the parking lot. Police stated that she bit, scratched and kicked the loss prevention officer.

Here’s the good news about this whole mess. A Good Samaritan grabbed up the baby and kept her until police arrived. Harris was arrested and held on $1 million dollars bail. She is charged with robbery, probation violation, and child endangerment.

In Madison, WI on Friday, a 9-year-old little girl was abandoned by her auntie because she couldn’t keep up. Apparently, the aunt had shoplifted over $500 worth of merchandise, and was in a hurry to get on out of there; but her niece wasn’t fast enough to keep up, so auntie left her behind.

That will teach her to keep up! Hey, if auntie can run through a store and make an escape with several layers of stolen clothing on, surely the little girl could keep up with just one layer of clothing on, right?

Pathetic. Read more here

Adrian Conde, of Bradenton, FL, is accused of stealing two pairs of shoes from a local Bealls store. When approached and confronted by loss prevention agents, Conde picked up his 1 year old son and then started wrestling with and swinging at the LP agent.

Yes, you read that right. First, he picked up his toddler son. Then, he picked a fight with LP. Brave guy, huh? For his trouble, Conde got charged with felony child neglect and assault to go with his shoplifting charge.

Here’s the kicker: Conde said he stole the shoes so he could “earn” money by selling them on the street. Now, I don’t know about you, but where I come from, we don’t call stealing from retailers “earning” money. We call that theft, shoplifting, boosting, etc., but not earning. What he earned was a jail sentence. Let’s hope he gets what he earned.

Here we go, gang. Erin Boyd, a 21-year-old mom in Palm Bay, Florida, visited her local Walmart on December 1st, with her 10-month-old baby in tow. While she was there, she decided to boost some wine. How did she do it? Well, she slipped the wine behind the baby in the baby’s car seat, of course.

Then, according to reports, when she exited the store and was approached by loss prevention, she tried to pull away from them, presumably still carrying the baby; who was sitting on glass bottles of wine. Talk about your parenting instincts.  I’m surprised she didn’t try to use the baby as a weapon.

All this over Walmart wine? Really? Sadly, it’s true…
