Wow! Our local Walmart catches thieves all the time and the cops are always called. We've seen it multiple times, someone grabbed as they leave the store. They're often prosecuted too (it's usually in the papers.) But that's in New Hampshire...

In our county in SC, they are escorted out in "bracelets". Everytime. We don't have looting here.

I lived in San Francisco, and my local Target felt like an unintended live-action show. Security guards would often end up physically confronting thieves, wrestling over large bags or backpacks stuffed with stolen merchandise. The police never showed up, leaving the guards to fend for themselves. It was like having a front-row seat to an impromptu MMA fightтАФDana White wouldтАЩve been proud.

Perhaps because "Live Free or Die" pervades the way people think in NH.
