Judge Sentences Walmart Shoplifters to Wash Cars in Parking Lot

A Genesee County judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters, ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring arrives.
Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart and rewards shoppers who could see higher prices, or possibly lose stores, if thefts continue. The car washes will be free.

Clothier told The Associated Press that he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for misdemeanor shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township, 50 miles north of Detroit. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars at weekend events at that location in March and April.

“It's just crazy,” he said, noting he had 48 such cases on his docket one day.
“I think it will be humiliating to be out there washing cars if you see someone you know,” Clothier said.
Walmart designated a parking space for police because of frequent calls about thefts, township Supervisor Scott Bennett said.

Not really fair to the car wash businesses in town.

I got my car washed a few months back at a supposedly legitimate car wash/oil change place. Took my pistol out and forgot to get the extra magazine beside seat. Looked a day later and all but one bullet left.

Why not sentence them to sweep the parking lots?

Don't forget about the Popeye's chicken boxes with the bones still inside. (or is that just a Louisiana Walmart thing?)

I feel like putting someone in the stocks and letting people pelt them with rotten fruit and vegetables is a little more classic. This is a good start though.

There is a sheriff's vehicle parked outside Walmart on College Drive all the time. I presume its that way all over town.
