However, you're also on numerous cameras and there's many ways to get you later, especially when they get the plate number off your vehicle. If the store has a decent LP you'll get a visit from police PDQ.

Also, if you've seen this happen, do you report it? every theft hurts the rest of us.

Yep, I report it but they usually either do not care or do not know what to do and end up letting them go.
I used to love to catch shoplifters, especially around Christmas but nobody ever does anything. It is pretty sad actually.
