Hi Melissa,
I was in an Albertson's with my cousin back in 1999 and she
had tucked a pregnancy test and a bottle of Nyquil into her
purse without knowledge. So we leave the store adn a man
comes running out and says "Excuse me 'mam" And I stop adn he
runs right past me up to my cousin and says "If there is
anything that you took from my store that you did not pay
for, return it and I do not want to see you on my property
again. So she dumps out the items, couldn't have been more
than $20 and we leave. 9 months later there is a warrant out
for both of our arrestes for Aggrevated Robbery. We were
both convicted of two counts of Robbery, 1 for the pregnancy
test and 1 for the Nyquil. BEWARE, stealing is no freakin
joke!
