Lol 😂 

What employees are told to do in stores versus what they actually do are two totally separate things.  There MAY be a recording of Sears Security (Loss Prevention) closed circuit TV footage from the mid 90’s showing security full blown tackling people trying to steal.  That footage might have been compiled with a musical background for viewing pleasure.  The music might be Rhyming and Stealing from the Beastie Boys among others such as Cypress Hill’s when the **** goes down. 
 

If that existed then everyone in that video might have become a cop, fireman or transit authority… most are retired.  If it existed it might be pulled out from time to time at summer bbqs. 
 

Thank god no one had cell phone cameras in the 90’s. 

Sears was atypical for security-I applied for that job once and you would not believe their high tech command center.  It was like a casino or CIA operation.

The city is on fire and half the population have become refugees.  Also, there are roving gangs moving from house to house taking anything (and anyone) they want. 

It's arguably the most dangerous place on the planet.  :ohnoez:

Some reflexively defer to placing the blame for this on climate change. Not me. As always, I tend to agree with Eydie Gorme in placing the blame squarely where it belongs:

I haven't noticed the pink bar, but it's an answer lol

Still, I've been on handheld devices and I'm not sure if that's the difference.

OK. Sorry to hear that, I should have figured; mea culpa. That's why the slef instead of a glove! Now it makes sense! :idea:

I lost my custom gloves once and good luck to whomever found them and tried to put them on.

My daughter worked at Blockbuster in high school. She often worked at night. One night she came home real mad and I asked her why. 

She said she had a group of kids come in and grabbed everything they wanted and left. She hated it but was told not to stop them. 

I found out later it was a regular occurance but it usually only happed when she was alone. ALONE? I had no idea. I went down to talk to her boss. A young kid who didn’t seem bothered a bit. He said it was “the cost of doing business”.  Needless to say, I made her quit.

We need real people that dress up in costumes and go around stopping crime.  maybe we could make comic books about them.

Is a private investigator still a thing?

It still is and I happen to know a very good, very honest, very reliable one in the state of Oregon in case he needs one.

We need Spenser and Hawk for this one or perhaps Elvis Cole and Joe Pike.

The person named Bryan who broke into house and burgeled 10 boxes of comics has been attempting to disperse items. He's taking pics of items and contacting people around Bay Area from his car by email , text and his wife's phone. A sting operation was in play but culprit went silent. He has a history of burglary, possession of stolen property, assault, spousal abuse, resisting arrest , firing a gun at a moving vehicle etc etc etc. Police have yet to respond even with overwhelming evidence due to no violence involved. Be still my blood pressure. Here are some pics again. In one of the pics I enlarged to get closer ideas and you can see to boxes which contained night vision goggles. Something every burglar should have I'm thinking

I'm sorry this is happening to you.

 

I'm also glad you posted this, because I'd have bought that Sports Novels on the spot if I'd come across this schmuck before I knew of the backstory
