The Shoplifter
My jewelry store has been in my family for many years. My father retired from the business a few years ago and I took over. We are in a small shopping center with like 8 other stores. The store is small where usually only one or two staff is needed at any given time during the week. We make pretty good money though and I am happy. I myself am 45 years old and a medium build guy.
Most of the jewelry is inside glass cases, but I do have one case that is able to open for older or cheaper stuff or stuff I put on special sale just to get rid of. Older rings, necklaces, watches, or trade in stuff is in there. I keep this case towards the back so I can keep an eye on it better and can lock it as needed.
It was an early summer day. Thursday is my slowest day and I usually only have myself there to watch the store. Been even slower since summer time, people are traveling and not shopping for jewelry. I close the store at 6pm that day. It was about 5:45 and I was starting to wind down the store and get ready for closing. It was then when a young girl came into my store. She looked like an early teenager and was a pretty girl. She had blond hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a yellow top and some white shorts.
I greeted her and she said to me, “Hi, I have this bracelet and a ring and I was wondering if you do cleanings. How much would you charge?”
I took the ring and the bracelet into my hand and looked them over. Was a gold bracelet and a gold ring with a fake stone on top of it. I said back, “This would be $20 to clean both.”
She said, “Okay, can you do it?”
I replied, “Sure, will take a few minutes. I will be right back.” I took both items in back to the shop and turned on the jewelry cleaner. I kept an eye on the cameras I have up front to keep an eye on the girl in the store. I see her walked about the shop looking in all the cases. The store it not very big, so she is just looking. I see her walk over to the discount case and look inside. I see her open the case up. Shit, I forgot to lock the case! I see her reach in and pick up an item, look at it, then put it back. She took another item out, then put it back. She took out a third item, but this time, she put it inside her pocket. I got mad at this as I watched her. She then reached in again, and took something out and pocketed it. Now I was really mad. I have a button in the back shop area that will lock the front door with a magnetic lock so you cannot open the door no matter what. I hit the button to lock the door. She would not be able to get out now.
I finished cleaning the ring and bracelet and walked out into the store. The girl smiled at me as I handed her the stuff. I told her, “Okay, that will be $20.” She handed me a $20 bill and then I said, “and also additional money for what stuff is in your pocket that you
