    Shoplifting is actually easier now cause most stores don’t want the liability that comes with physically apprehending shoplifters. Most of them still have “Loss Prevention” but they don’t have cuffs anymore and aren’t supposed to touch you. And local PD usually doesn’t care enough to investigate someone who they don’t have in custody when they call.

      Lol, I think it may depend on where you live. Most loss prevention departments that i’m aware of spend their time building a case so that the cops can pick you up when you’re ready to leave the store. And that’s if you’re lucky enough to not get shot by some chud that thinks they’re sheriff of their store.
