Content: Stores are concerned that shoplifters or innocent customers could be hurt in a brawl and sue them. That's not something that shareholders need affecting their investments. Ask anyone at Home Depot or Albertson's what happens when you chase after a subject who has stolen from the store. You lose your job. No exceptions. Now this doesn't mean that the shoplifter is home free. The store detective should note how the shoplifter gets away, their car description, license plate, the direction they drive, etc., and immediately call the police. If you are under 5 or over 70 years of age, LP is not supposed to stop you. This is a rule for many chain stores.
