Law Breakers

It's definitely an art form.  It happens more times than we catch based on our inventory.  I've seen a lot of stealing.

1) Opening a beer in the store and chugging it and not paying for it.
2) Walking out of the store with a bottle of Grey Goose in the back pocket (We caught him).
3) Wearing neoprene clothes under their regular clothes and inserting bottles of Ciroc under the tight clothes so they stay hand free. (Caught them, too)
4) Ducking under a racking area with bottle in one hand and large purse in the other and coming up with just the purse.
5) Taking bottles from the shelf and directly inserting into a large purse.
6) Putting bottles in a back pocket sticking out.  (He was caught).
7) Putting a bottle under her short and pants.
8) Employees coming back at night to steal truck loads of expensive wine, beer and liquor.  (He was caught).
9) Cashiers refunding kegs in cash, when no keg was brought back. (She was caught.)
10) Handing over a fake ID.  (It's not just the underage, it's the illegals, too.)
11) Taking a half bottle off the shelf, removing it from the box and putting the box back on the shelf.  Hide the bottle and leave undetected.
12) Same guy in #8, comes back after we saw the tape and uses his information with name, address and phone number to check out at the register.  Idiot!
13) Passing counterfeit 100's one day and coming back the next day with more fake bills and get CAUGHT!
