That's what I heard today, going into a big box discounter store to do some last minute Christmas shopping.
I'm walking into the store, and turn to my left to get a cart. I hear, "Stop resisting, stop resisting!" There's a crash and out of the corner of my right eye I see something moving that will cut in front of me. I stop and see two store employees wrestling with a customer, who is trying to leave the store. I'm guessing they're LP guys. The one guy keeps yelling, "You're going to go to jail if you don't stop reisisting!" The guy gets just past the front door, but is wedged against the wall by the two employees, who tell him to go back into the store.
He seems to be complying for a moment, then makes a break for it. He runs to the area where the carts are lined up, trying to get to the back of that area where the carts are brought into the store by the employees. They try to grab him but fail.
Since I was just inside the front door, I stepped out. I see the customer, a small bag in hand, hurriedly walking into the parking lot.
The LP guy pushes a cart into a storage area; it's full of stuff, tells the other guy to call 911 and go after the SC. He then goes out into the lot after the guy.
So I guess he tried to push a cart full of merchandise right out of the store, and got stopped by the alarm, and put up a fight. LP must have been watching him, because they were right on top of him.
I hope they caught the guy, but I also hope they didn't get hurt trying to chase him down.
