That sucks. I hate thieving people too. I used to work in retail, and it's amazing the things people will try. Just walk right by you, out the front door, with an armful of power tools. Of course, we're not supposed to approach them because of safety concerns. I started throwing stuff at him. Nailed him in the back of the head with a stapler, and he dropped a few things. THEN I got in trouble because my boss was afraid he was going to sue us!! Ugh, I quit. We did have a lot of stolen items returned throughout the years. eventually everyone gets caught. Hopefully they catch yours.
