I used to live behind a Safeway and used to go in there several times a day and rip them off.
I used to steal steaks, chicken, big bottles of brandy and vodka. There alchohol section was kinda secluded off in a corner (way too easy). I would always put my money and id in my front pockets and carry a big handbag that was empty. (in case I had to drop the purse and run for it). Eventually thats what happened. I got stopped at the back door by an undercover loss prevention officer. He asked to see the contents of my purse. I slowly held it out to him then dropped and ran like the wind. I used to run track when I was younger. I was wearing sandals at the time which was slowing me down. I could feel him starting to grab the back of my shirt. So I kicked off the sandals and left him in my dust. Even though I lived across the parking lot I never went back in that Safeway. Fast forward 20 years I actually got hired by Vons (owned by Safeway) and never told a soul about it!
