"Thou Shall Not Steal"

I believe, if I'm correct, as I try to remember my childhood Sunday school days, I think commandment number eight is "thou shall not steal". And in today's world, what happens when you do steal is pictured above. The police force you off the road, you are handcuffed, and the Orange Police department searches your car! A little background on the photos above. The two older ladies pictured above that are handcuffed on the side of the road, we have suspected them of shoplifting for years. But actually, if you are good at what you do, you don't get caught. Yesterday they were in Country Roads, again. And again, it was "sport" for them to steal. We all know who they are, but they are brazen enough not to care. On this particular day, "the boys" (Bryce & Tim) followed them after they went out an emergency exit at the store and the alarm went off. They watched these women drive to Watsons, go in the store and come out and load their car. The picture above is what they stole from our store in a very short period of time. It was pulled from their car after they were pulled over by the Orange PD. Apparently they enter the store with big, empty purses. Nothing personal, but I don't think I would risk jail for a stone & iron ant! After the two women left Watson's, they went over to Julep's. The box pictured above is part of what they stole there. Apparently they were preparing for the Christmas holiday. Bryce and Tim watched them load up their car time after time at Julep's. Thankfully, the Orange Police Department was right on top of this situation, and thankfully Bryce and Tim were able to track them down for the police to arrest. You know, if someone steals food because their family is homeless and there children have nothing to eat, in my opinion that is different. Or at least I understand it better. But when two old women are skilled in the profession of shoplifting and make a sport out of it, well maybe they should have paid more attention in Sunday school to Commandment #8, "thou shall not steal". Guess they will have some time to think about that!
