Was the suspect in the CVS case arrested?
Shoplifting (generally) isn’t arrestable.
My guess is no if he is going to be summoned to court.
Head and Shoulders?? Dove soap? Is this really what people are lifting these days?
Come on where is the humor on this board? Can’t we have some fun with this one?
He might be a scoundrel who aspires not to be a filthy scoundrel. Either that or real has a bad dandruff issue.
They steal everyday things everyone uses then resell them to fuel their drug habits. Do people really think they USE what they steal?
He just wanted to “COME CLEAN” ???? You are right~~~~look for the humor ~~~as long as no-one got hurt !!!!
12 bottles of Head + Shoulders and two packs of Dove bar soap. What did the thief bring in the store a suitcase?
