Since when is stealing a big deal, ma’am?
After a shoplifter stole items from a Dollar General in Fresno, Calif., and fled with the goods on a bicycle, an employee chased him down with her car and swerved into him on a driveway, knocking him off the bike and scattering the stuff he had stolen. They then got into a shouting match in which he is heard telling her that the situation is “not that serious,” and that other people also steal from stores. She retrieved about half of the stolen goods.
