I don't view shoplifting from this guy's vintage store the same as shoplifting from a corporate store. You shouldn't steal from stores where the owner is working the register

I agree, but also they're making a big deal out of basically nothing. They say he's lost almost £200 over 5 years in business.

If you're in need, I understand, and I would never class you as a scumbag if you were doing it out of necessity.

But nobody needs a funky shirt or a pinball machine, they just would like them.

i'd like to see someone shuffling out of there with a pinball machine stuffed in their drawers

Whoever reported this needs to have a long hard think about themselves . As if the police don't have better things to do.
