These are their stories, only at shoplifter .com.

Alright, so you know why I called you in here, right?

Um, no.

My employees say that they tell you sticking things inside your bag.

I don't know what your employees are talking about.

Well, several of them said that you're wandering around the store and stuffing

things in your bag.

That's why I brought you in here.

No, they didn't know. They did nothing.

Then you don't mind if I search your bag?

That's private.

Well, here at the store we have a policy.

And if we suspect stealing, then we have the option to bring you in and search

you and your personal belongings.

Well, I didn't do anything.

Well, if you don't consent to a search to this, then I've got to call the cops.

No, don't. No, I'm not calling cops.

Nothing. Okay, then let me search your bag.

It's that or cops.

I mean...

You want to open it yourself?

No.

All right, then I'm going to do it.

See?

What is this?

I just needed it for my coffee, and it's really

hard to afford. They're so expensive.

If there's anything I can do, I've never done anything like this before. Never.

I've always been really good.

I really need to get through these classes.

Do you have your driver's license?

No. All right, well, I'm going to have to take down your information, and

I don't know.

No.

Is there anything else I can do? I mean, I'll work here. I don't... Anything.

I'll pay for the books. I just don't want to get kicked out of school.

I'm almost done.

I just... Well, first, probably going to have to search the rest of you to see

if there's anything else missing.

What do you mean?

I need to see if you have anything on your person.

In your pockets, whatever.

I mean... Then, here.

Come over here.

You shouldn't have a problem with me searching you.

I don't have anything.

This is telling me different.

No, I mean, I only wanted the book.

I have nothing.

I need some pictures of you to keep on file so we don't have to come back.

I won't do it again.

Well, this is going to make sure that you don't come back in here to do it

again. I won't come back here. I won't do it again. Well, I still need

No, like... I need my employees to have a reminder of who not to let in here.

No, I just... We don't tolerate thievery.

There has to be something else we can do. I just can't have this on my record.

can't... I can't have this.

I just, I don't know. At this point, I need to take pictures.

It's store policy.

I don't know. Is there anything I can do?

Like, anything.

Like, I just, please don't.

It's store policy, so I need to take a couple pictures.

And then we'll discuss what we're going to do after that.

Okay. All right?

So just face me.

Turn to the side.

So I've caught you with stuff in your bag, and my wand is going off.

I think we need to do a strip search.

Why?

To see if you're hiding anything else. I don't think that's appropriate.

Neither is stealing from my store.

I don't have books in my body.

There might be other supplies, and I need to check for that.

I don't, I didn't steal anything else.

Else, else.

Now you can comply or I can call the cops.

And they're going to do the same to you, but worse.

Fine.

All right.

You mind to take that off?

Isn't this supposed to be like a female security officer?

I'm the security officer here.

You know, we don't have thieves come in here that often, so this isn't standard

protocol to bring people in here.

You know, this is a rare occasion.

You just happen to be one of them.

There's nothing in there, I told you.

Okay, what about the rest?

What do you mean? Look at my clothes, they're like skin tight.

How am I gonna hide anything in here?

You'd be surprised at where people hide things.

What do you mean, no? No, look.

Like, you can see.

I can't see under your clothes.

I don't know, I just...

I don't feel like that's appropriate.

I think you know that I don't have nothing else.

I don't know. And that's why I'm asking you to do this.

It's either here or call the cops and you can do this down at the station.

So it looks like you take care of yourself. Why would you steal from me?

I told you I couldn't afford it. It's very expensive.

I just... I shouldn't have done it.

Huh?

Yeah.

Maybe you should take off the rest.

Get this over with.

Don't you think this is enough?

No.

Like, I can't hide nothing. Like, here I am.

There's nothing... There's nothing in here.

I don't know that.

How do you not... What do you mean you don't know? Like, what?

People hide things all the time.

There's places that you could have things hidden.

I don't know. I don't feel good.

Too hot. Would you feel better going to jail?

Okay.

How about your socks?

Can I put my coat back on?

Not yet.

I still think you might be hiding something.

Where? I have nothing left.

I can set it here.

How? How?

I mean, how?

I don't have anything inside my body.

I don't know that.

I've seen people do it.

I don't feel good.

I don't... Do you feel better going to jail?

Having a criminal record?

Not being able to get a job? Finish school?

Explain to your parents what happened?

I'm not the bad guy here.

I caught you stealing from my store

Now can I put my clothes on?

No.

I mean, we still haven't discussed what to do to get you out of this.

I mean, I'll just pay for the book.

Why don't you pay for them to begin with, if you have money?

I'll find the money.

You'll find the money.

We need resolution right now.

I think I know a way we can handle this.

What do you want me to do?

I think you know.

No, I don't know.

You know.

You're a pretty woman.

Nice body.

You know, we can handle this without getting the cops involved.

Seeing you go to jail.

I don't know about that.

It's either that or I call the cops.

No, I... No, you can't call the cops.

Okay.

Okay what?

I'll do whatever you want me to do.

Yeah? Okay.

But you you let me go, right?

No, please. I don't I don't want anything on my record.

Yeah, no, please As long as you you know do a good job

Make me believe that you won't do it again.

Okay. Yeah, I will never do this again.

Okay

Okay. That's the best way for no one to, you know, find out what you did.

If you have family, friends.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll just do whatever.

I'll do it.

Okay.

Start by getting on your knees.

I can't.

It's this or jail. I mean, here's the phone. I'm calling right now. No, don't

call them.

How much more?

I'll let you know. Keep going.

I'm a little enthusiastic.
