I thought a quote from Mission:Impossible was appropriate for this one. Yep, another story from camp This one involves a dangerous shoplifting incident.
Someone actually *broke into* my store at night But, they didn't go in through the locked front doors, or even the rear access door. Since the building my store was in is also a warehouse (where all the camping crap--tents, stoves, and other goodies are kept), it's usually locked up pretty tight.
So it was a bit of a surprise that a few things were missing the next morning...as well as seeing one of the window screens on the floor. When I left, it was still in the window 'upstairs.' (The building had a high ceiling with windows for ventilation and light.)
Sometime during the night, some asshole found the ladder outside, and climbed onto the roof. From there, he kicked in the screen, and somehow dropped the 8 feet or so down to the counter. After stealing a few items--some cheap flashlights, sodas, and a few candy bars, he then walked out and shut the front door.
I have a feeling it was done at night, since the thief missed my expensive stereo system hidden under the counter, as well as my cd collection.
I was pissed, but at least I didn't get written up for it.
