Shoplifters!

Today, DH and I had a crime-stopping adventure.

We went to the local grocery chain that's well known in New England. (Illini_Girl, don't know if they had them up in NH...but it's not Shaw's or Hannaford or Star.)

We're in the spice/baking aisle...and we see this older woman put something into a brown paper bag, and then something ELSE into her jacket pocket. I said to DH, "holy crap, that woman is STEALING!!!!!"

There happened to be an associate stocking the shelves nearby, so I calmly walked up to her and told her about that woman putting something into her pocket. The associate was like "hmmm, I don't know if I can do anything," but we saw her talk to the store manager, who then got this big dude (who was dressed up) involved. He must have been store security or something...but they were following her and watching her.

The big dude said to the manager, "Well, you know we can't do anything until she goes to leave." Then she left and the big dude followed her, but then she came back in, so I don't know WTF happened.

Still, it was pretty cool.
