re: Not only are corporations not pursuing thieves anymore, they are downright refusing

So why would anyone actually pay for anything there if they will do absolutely nothing about it?
Seems like the only way they’ll do something about it is if everyone starts stealing.

I witnessed this at a lowes in sulphur, and knew the two guys stealing the power tools. I watched them run across the parking lot and throw them in trunk and leave out with no chase.

I went inside and asked for manager to see if they had the two on camera and what the deal was.

She told me it's their policy to leave it be and not pursue. I heard what I needed.

I let it be. If they dont care, why do I

Home Depot needs to get a mess of Roof Koreans

This is what happens when cops don't give a shite about property crime, nobody gives a shite. I've been robbed multiple times, and the cops will tell you they won't even look for it, and just to file a claim.

This seems to be contrary to everything you read on the web about Home Depot's policy other than non-security personnel are generally not allowed to confront shoplifters. But I guess some random guy on the web is more believable than any of things on the web or what common sense would tell us.

Bet they change that policy quick af

I knew the first manager when the HD store on Highland opened. I was in there once talking to her when someone bolted out with several DeWalt combo packs, An employee gave chase and I was amazed when he returned to the store she ripped him a new one for pursuing the shoplifter. The built-in amount of mark-up to compensate for unexplained inventory shrinkage is astonishing too.

On a funnier note, several years later I was in the same HD store and observed the then manager trying to impress folks I could only assume were district managers or other bigwigs from elsewhere. This manager dude was helping two guys manhandle a hot tub that was right by the contractor entrance into the back of a pick up truck. After the truck had left, some wise guy employee loudly said “you realize they didn’t have a receipt for that?”. It was highly amusing to watch the manager try to explain that one away.
