I'm not trying to rationalize or trivialize theft, but I think that loss prevention should be the responsibility of the shop, not the responsibility of internet sleuths.

Theft is wrong and it's perfectly fine to set a precedent and show thieves (or potential thieves) that it's not right, and that they won't be tolerated in the community, but I don't think this is the best approach, especially for something this petty.

Thieves often strike the same place more than once. By making it public that they are looking for the guy, they could have ruined any chance of him coming back and making a repeat offense, or coming back to play games.

Disagree. Let people see his face, so his family, friends and loved ones know he did this. Information travels so fast now, that there is no reason not to use this tool to make sure this scumbag is atleast shamed, if he can not be found.

Hmm. seems about 20 years too young for my circle, but this is in my area so I will keep an ear out.

That was not a minor theft.

The value in cash is hardly small and to be just written off.
Show his face, show him up.

Other shops can be on guard.

Shame the guy as much as posisble and I hope you catch him.


That said is the security video from the 1980's? I can get entry level digital security cameras at Sam's Club or Fry's for about $300-$400 that have way better picture quality. You want to try upgrading to something a bit more clear.

It was a $25 box of stealth suits (which presumably cost the store about 18 bucks). I'm not endorsing theft and hope at some point he gets caught but that's pretty minor by I think any reasonable definition.

That looks like 20 people I know. I cant even see the eyes.
And the likely hood you will catch hims like zero

The blur is so bad I can't even read what's written on the chest of his hoodie and that's in at least 3" boldface lettering.

Anyone seen that before?

Seen what before - a sign for Qawles Workshop? Can't say I have

A few 25 doller thefts soon add up.

Yes one is minor but if you don,t keep up, 10 is not.

Now we're moving the goalposts to a new, different argument.

Holy gak. That's one of my gaming buddies student.......Holy F'i....wow......he plays in our group occasionally at the library

Edit

A TAU PLAYER at that....he came up seriously short on a Apoc game to last month

The lesson here;



After all

So glad that in 2015, we still have video cameras at VCR quality

If that's the real deal, let us know what happens.

I linked "Whathisname" (real name not given to protect the innocent) this link and asked "Isn't this one of your former or current students?" He's quick to respond.....not there's anything we can do but he more then likely earned the title "That Guy"

If you get someone to make a positive ID and the store wishes to press charges he could be charged with the theft. Of course its a pretty minor charge.

A small charge maybe, but at the least he'll face a total social stigma from the "hobby".

The best kind of punishment in this case

Yea but it's the principle of the thing. FLGS really aren't the way to get rich in America so stopping stuff like this when it happens is the least we can do to repay their service to the gaming community.

He's a criminal, he deserves whatever he gets. If you're for anything short of giving this kid the Blood Eagle or Brazen Bull you're SOFT ON CRIME . Today it's petty theft from a locally owned game shop. Tomorrow it might be petty theft from a major corporation. Can you really live with the idea he might victimize a nice person like Walmart? Stop him now. Stop him forever. Protect the innocent, don't reward the guilty.

Maybe we could take a que from WMH.

I still want to know what's written on his hoodie. :(

If someone PMs me the name of the suspect, I'll give it to Paul the store owner discretely. Thanks so much.

It may be a minor amount in the overall picture but if he knows it's easy to get away with he will do it again.

Since he got away with it once, count on him trying again. He will try at that store, or another store. So spreading the word, and his picture, alerts everyone and every store to watch this guy and make it hard for him to steal.

Yeah, better shoot him in the head now. He COULD cause the next Columbine when, in a fit of insanity, he will pretend to be Kaldor Draigo purging the unclean. He will then murder students with a brush, laughing manically, shouting "I AM THE HAMMER!".

Sad, sad times we live in.

I'm glad somebody is thinking of the children. Props to you brudda.

Don't drop the soap, Tau player.
