Case No. 8001976 - The New Me Thief

American retailers lose $45 billion annually to theft.

You gotta make sure you don't have anything else on you.

Stand up.

Okay, um.

There's still a lot of nooks and crannies in there

The teen shoplifter that tries to steal the merchandise

and the loss prevention officer who stands in their way.
