I don't know for sure on which show I've seen those "Stupid Criminals" segments, perhaps Leno, but I witnessed a stupid criminal in the women's dept tonight. She was a young lass around the age of 18 or so. Looked harmless enough and didn't appear to be dumb as a brick but her actions proved otherwise.
I was working stock in the women's underwear when coworker B came to me and said:
B: "Could you keep an eye on this girl? We think she's stealing panties so I'm going to call Loss Prevention while coworker S and I follow her to see what she's doing."
We peons are not supposed to stop/accuse shoplifters but are told to call LP instead, which B did. I was standing less than 10 feet away from the panties the girl was snitching. I watched her intently, never trying to hide the fact that I knew what she was up to, yet she never glanced my way. Nor did she notice B and S running intently after her from 2 different directions, to catch her stuffing those panties into her oversized purse.
She'd come to the panties, look at a few, take one pair, remove the hanger then fold them as she walked away towards the mens dept. (With B and S chasing her) Once she reached the mens sock aisle she was seen stuffing them into her purse. Then she'd come back and repeat the process.
By the time LP arrived, the girl had 3 people flanking her and me still standing there staring at her. Yet, she continued on with her panty raid for several more minutes until she was satisfied with the number she had in her possesion.
Since LP was able to see her stuffing them in her purse the girl was apprehended before leaving the premises. If she had been satisfied with one or two she would have gotten away but she had to be greedy.
Maybe she needed a pair for every day of the week.

) but seriously, who out there is stupid enough to not at least look to see if someone is WATCHING them commit a crime?
