@mattburnett4185 I wish it worked like how Trailer Park Boys made it seem. I feel like a real-life cop would catch on to that unless they were an idiot
I was a mall cop 15 years ago the mall i worked at had over 100 stores but only like 10 would prosecute for shoplifting they just raise the prices to the consumer to make up for losses
One time when I was a teenager hanging out in the mall with my friends, I saw mall security chasing a shoplifter out of a store and into the parking lot. As the guards were running past us, I yelled out, "Get him! He's got donuts!" And my friends all laughed but one guard stopped for a second, turned around and said, "Oh, come on, man!" and he looked absolutely gutted. I really hurt that guys feelings. He came back and talked to us briefly after the shoplifter got away. Guard was a cool guy.
No way u were ignorant and didnt know how bad adults have it but then you realize how dumb you were now? Thats because the older u get the wiser you are? Will u believe me if i tell you if ur in the age range of 25-40 Y/O that you also dont know how dumb you are right now but in 10 years you will understand how better life was now? Crazy i know but one day you will understand.. i will know how dumb i sound rn too 😂 but were all dumb learning thru experience.. hope u understand but one day u might
I hate to say it but most people I’ve met who are born round late 2000s and up think its ok to steal or eventually started to or started drinking by 13 a lot of the younger generation has generalized stealing drinking smoking other less “serious” or “potent” drugs it’s really sad when I hear it’s not that bad or it’s not that serious not thinking about the massive consequence if you do get charged or if you do overdose and there’s no around or the health consequences down the line overtime
I did a lot of work in a popular mall and the security spent 99% of their time harassing contractors. Chasing us down for our IDs, shutting the job down for making to much noise, leaving boot prints on the floor...all kinds of stupid nonsense. And the day came when a group of people robbed the Louis Vuitton in the middle of the day and made off with $50,000 worth of merch...after that any time security said anything to me I threw in their face that they were more concerned with harassing me for doing my job than they were with stopping real crime and that they are joke ..
I have a cart at the mall selling clothes I went to Popeyes for lunch one day and came back for a refill that lady didn't speak English so I said estupida and she called security over Three of them came over and none of them spoke her language the they tried to chastise me I simply said your presence isn't needed here and stood my ground til they just bumbled and walked away like some clowns God I hate mall cops
Lmao man oh man are you a crybaby. I do security and I’ve been at a mall for only 3 weeks. Who’s the only guy that’s threatened me with violence so far? A “contractor” who I asked the simple question “hey, are you unloading?” You guys are a special bunch.
I hear you bro, been doing a some work on and off at a mall and they got a newer security guard named Jeremy. This guy walks around with a puffy chest thinking he’s in the FBI. Everyone makes fun of him.
I worked at Express in the mall in high school. They’d tell you that if you see a person stealing then you can’t accuse them of it because they technically didn’t steal it until they leave the store with it and then if they leave the store, you can not leave the store to pursue them because then it’s a liability issue for you to do that outside of the store. So yeah a lot of stores you can technically now walk in and walk out with items and unless outside security is around to stop you then nobody is doing shit about it. Stores care more about the thief getting injured outside the store by their staff and being sued than they do about their missing items
I grew up in SD and the malls were meeting places for fights specifically lmao. “F*ck you afterschool meet me at plaza Bonita I’m going to beat your ass” 😂
The moment you do engage and the thief gets hurt, then suddenly you’re the bad guy and the lawsuit comes. The only thing is they won’t sue you, they’ll sue the store (based on legal advice) to get the most money out of them. Corporate would rather fire that person and host “Ethics Training” which is really just a PR stunt
That’s the policy for any major corporate store. It is a liability issue if you engage a shoplifter and get hurt or seriously injure someone for a relatively minor shoplifting offense the store ends up having to deal with larger more costly issues like workers comp claims. The days where store security would try to detain people for shoplifting were mostly due to the fact that stores didn’t have cameras or cameras didn’t have good quality so once they left the store they pretty much got away with it. Now people shoplifting get caught on High Definition cameras and it is just easier for the store to not engage and let the police deal with theft which is better for the employees who don’t get paid enough to deal with that shit
My wife and I used have a clothing store and when we checked the cameras we were surprised by how many women were shoplifting; so many women shoplift, it's true!!
About 20 years ago my wife was managing a Spencer's at the mall in our town. Just by happenstance at the exact same time I was bringing her lunch she was trying to stop a shoplifter from taking some items. I watched him forcefully shove my wife to the side and start to walk out of the store not knowing who I was. I am 6'7", 265 lb and I used to play defensive end in college. This guy was like a 19 year old black dude who was maybe all of 5 ft 9, 140 lb. I just grabbed him by the throat with both hands and started squeezing. My wife had to pull me off so I didn't kill him. Anyways, he ran away before Mall security could get there. But years later I remember we were talking and I just out of the blue asked her if that guy ever came back to the store and she said "nope"?

But the people who actually are ready to steal, wouldn’t care if the police themselves are there, and will do what they do. Kind of makes me feel like a sucker for doing that whole “working” thing and “earning money to afford my stuff” I must be living the wrong way.
Gotta be pretty sad and frustrating being in an industry and just watching as a lot of people including cops lose respect for your job. Over nothing that you did
If you stop a theif in california you will get charged with assault and likely spend time in jail it will stay on youre record permanently as a violent offense
Every security company has their own policies if they go hands on to make a private arrest or not. People get the idea that security guards can’t touch them and that’s totally dependent on the company’s policies. Legally ANYONE including your grandma can make a private arrest. If someone attacks you or steals your stuff you can arrest them for police.
You want third world jails and prisons? It'd be reaaaaally crowded , I personally wouldn't care but then if they get released and can't go straight, they go right back to crime.
California became fully under the grasp of elites in more rural states elite type policies wont have as much impact or as much ability to disrupt civilized society
It sounds like security guards are now put in a position where they are accessories to the crime. When will the law turn on and charge them? Soemthing to think about.
Why? These companies lie to y'all and say that it puts a dent in their profits or affects their bottom line but it doesn't It literally doesn't hurt anybody much less bIllion dollar corporations They say that and the government gives them money to compensate You're sitting here crying over people stealing that has nothing to do with you or me
A lot of these peoples addresses are already public record but a majority of them live in gated communities protected by armed security which may or may not be augmented by normal off duty cops. They don’t care because they live in their own world
A perfect example of cops vs security guards is in the movie Observe and Report. Ray liotta(could not have cast a better person for this part) demeans Seth Rogan as a security guard at every encounter. It is hilarious. He screams insults in his ear in one part it's so funny 😂😂
It’s the same in the UK. Our store security is only there to say “you can’t bring drinks inside”. Security is only there as a visual deterrent, and mall security can’t stop or accuse anybody of anything. The only thing really stopping anybody from doing whatever they want is the embarrassment of people seeing them. If someone doesn’t care what people think, then no rules apply to them. Those of us that work in stores get fired if we try to stop someone stealing or accuse them, the managers tell us “we’re insured, your safety is more important”, but then if we have stocktake and find items missing, we get in trouble for not being more of a deterrent. But if we stand around being a deterrent all day, we get in trouble for not focusing on customer service and reaching targets. And this extends all the way up to the police level, where even people found with knives or committing crime get super lenient sentencing, and the police will only attempt to do anything AFTER the crime has already been committed.
All of the items for sale in big stores are insured, in order for the claim to be accepted it may be required the retail store show proof of trying to stop theft. Most places don’t want you to do anything because the resulting legal action isn’t worth the time or money
8:03 dude police officers have hardly any resources 😭 my husband is one and they don’t even chase people on foot anymore. If you jump a fence you’re free to go. They’re even making a law where they can’t pull you over for expired tags
Please have someone on that works at Long Term Care home. Or even a hospital security worker- these people have crazy stories. Dementia care homes residents are more gossip worthy than Melrose Place with the drama that goes on. There’s always a philandering Phil (who’s married) but wakes up beside a different female resident every morning.
This cap because high end stores that sell Gucci belts have loss prevention that will stop and detain and call the cops mall cops might not do sht but LP will and he’s right cops barely show up to retail calls in SD
As a San Diego native, I can 100% confirm that the mall were jumping with gang fights. Specifically fashion Valley, Mission Valley, and Plaza Bonita, especially given that the trolley runs through the malls. And most have a trolley that runs through their hoods.
My friends wife used to manage a Payless Shoe store back in the nineties. Their policy was to let someone just walk out of the store with shoes and write it down for loss prevention later Much better than confronting someone and them pulling a gun out of something. It was the busiest Payless in the state of Colorado at the time
I was a department store plain clothed security guard in the mid 70's, while in college. No cameras! We had to covertly spot and catch them. Our policy was that i had to identify the specific item stolen and exact location before i could stop them. Took a lot more skill than sitting in a backroom watching a camera. As for calling them a "pussy".... all that does is promote fights and likely lawsuits. We had a great relationship with cops. In fact, as we were wating for the cops, we completed their incident report for them. We charged every thief we caught.
I definitely relate to this guy..... when I used to work at a gas station we would deal with intoxicated customers , massive beer and energy drink runs, to aggressive homeless people that would not want to leave the store ....cops eventually will hate you if keep calling them.... we finally learned that if we gave them free coffee they would occasionally drop by to check on the store
He doesn't talk about the part where certain stores will WATCH you steal. Let you steal a bunch of times, then build a case against you. I've seen the most unsuspecting friendly people go through that.
this shit got me dying at work without fail everytime theo keep interviewing new people like this normal lifes and shit. You the goat man you just a normal dude also Just rightfully famous as fuck. Appreciate you makin my day much love gang gang
“the voluntary society is the source of order that comes from freedom itself. There is no contradiction or even tension between liberty and security. If free enterprise works well in one sector, it can work well in other sectors too.” - Gustave de Molinari
I spent the entire video distracted by what's on the back of his hat. What is going on there? Anyone know what the catalyst was for the drastic change in how shoplifters are handled?
Can you imagine how bad cops have it. We have rules to specifically avoid arresting juveniles and if you arrest a adult for theft they’ll literally be out before the end of your shift. The reason why most cops I’m sure have an attitude is because everyone knows it’s a waste of time. Like Walgreens calls so many damn times per day cause people steal. By the time the call gets dispatched to us based on priority and by the time we get there, the offenders are long gone so it’s like why even bother calling, these corporate stores don’t want to lock up criminals and the State Attorney’s don’t want them in jail, it’s all a joke.
I work in retail. Man I see all types of people stealing. And I don’t stop them. I don’t get paid enough to do any of that. But low key these companies be scamming the customers with high prices and low quality stuff. So i understand both sides.
I worked at a grocery store in high school. I saw an elderly woman attempt to steal an entire cart of groceries. She played it off like she was confused, but I had watched her for several minutes while she made sure the coast was clear - she knew what she was doing. After that, I changed my perceptions about what a thief would look like, but I also was able to consider why an elderly woman might be stealing groceries (she's prob hungry 🤷🏼♂️) or has children to feed with no money.
Yeah the security footage of them trying to stop a Precarious LaDarius at the door will soon be a thing of the past as it is replaced by Ring cam footage of porch piracy.
@@tcbobb1613 yup once computers and smartphones were available to everyone brick and mortar shops just couldn’t compete, these people live under a rock and think it’s because of something else lmao
It'd be a real shame if more people were to begin exploiting the flaws of both the legal system and corporate policies. Can you imagine the kind of revenue losses a high end luxury brand would experience if thieves were not only taking their inventory, but also undercutting their prices and selling to the same targeted demographic as the company? I'm just glad we got Mall Cops like this guy who makes an effort to keep us informed of the truth.
My girl was a office manager in a local grocery store for 7 years. There is nothing they can do unless they SEE you steal, and never loose sight of you. And after they could take the plate number and call local PD.
Because you need proof or else it’s hearsay? That’s why they need to see you or have video evidence. But alot of places also have a don’t chase policy or don’t confront policy because workers have been attacked before over what some fucking milk? Some beer? Lmao

if you want to steal from a store you never steal anything worth more than ~30$/50$ and never more than one thing at a time. and it can't be anything of high demand either. stick to really basic stuff you'll get through ur rough patch

It sounds like security guards are now put in a position where they are accessories to the crime. When will the law turn on and charge them? Soemthing to think about.
If you’ve worked a retail job you know ANYBODY can be a thief even a sweet old lady
All the lawmakers who allowed this should have their home addresses published.
Lawmakers don't enforce the law, cops do.
Why? These companies lie to y'all and say that it puts a dent in their profits or affects their bottom line but it doesn't It literally doesn't hurt anybody much less bIllion dollar corporations They say that and the government gives them money to compensate You're sitting here crying over people stealing that has nothing to do with you or me
@@ashleybanks-wm4cg You do realize stores will leave high crime areas if they have enough shoplifting
@@burtbiggum499 not the mall You have no idea what you're talking about I've done extensive research on this for my degree
A lot of these peoples addresses are already public record but a majority of them live in gated communities protected by armed security which may or may not be augmented by normal off duty cops. They don’t care because they live in their own world
A perfect example of cops vs security guards is in the movie Observe and Report. Ray liotta(could not have cast a better person for this part) demeans Seth Rogan as a security guard at every encounter. It is hilarious. He screams insults in his ear in one part it's so funny 😂😂
It’s the same in the UK. Our store security is only there to say “you can’t bring drinks inside”. Security is only there as a visual deterrent, and mall security can’t stop or accuse anybody of anything. The only thing really stopping anybody from doing whatever they want is the embarrassment of people seeing them. If someone doesn’t care what people think, then no rules apply to them. Those of us that work in stores get fired if we try to stop someone stealing or accuse them, the managers tell us “we’re insured, your safety is more important”, but then if we have stocktake and find items missing, we get in trouble for not being more of a deterrent. But if we stand around being a deterrent all day, we get in trouble for not focusing on customer service and reaching targets.
And this extends all the way up to the police level, where even people found with knives or committing crime get super lenient sentencing, and the police will only attempt to do anything AFTER the crime has already been committed.
I don't think HE could chase ANYONE. Also, no one "conjured up" at the mall.
If I saw he was the security I’d steal too shiii you ain’t getting caught lmao
All of the items for sale in big stores are insured, in order for the claim to be accepted it may be required the retail store show proof of trying to stop theft. Most places don’t want you to do anything because the resulting legal action isn’t worth the time or money
8:03 dude police officers have hardly any resources 😭 my husband is one and they don’t even chase people on foot anymore. If you jump a fence you’re free to go. They’re even making a law where they can’t pull you over for expired tags
Please have someone on that works at Long Term Care home. Or even a hospital security worker- these people have crazy stories. Dementia care homes residents are more gossip worthy than Melrose Place with the drama that goes on. There’s always a philandering Phil (who’s married) but wakes up beside a different female resident every morning.
Snack = “milk, bread… oysters
When i was 13 my 5 year old sister stole some candy from a store in the mall and youd have thought she stole the nuclear codes when the alarm went off
Why would the alarm go off? Candy never have had those metal security strips on them Lmaoo fkn liar
If this guy worked at any malls in northern Colorado, he probably bumped into Joey Diaz.
These every day guests are so good. Way better than some random celebrity who doesn’t really give af to be there
lol his talk of crime at the malls brings back so many memories of that kinda stuff haha.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE…. Are getting tired of being used.
This cap because high end stores that sell Gucci belts have loss prevention that will stop and detain and call the cops mall cops might not do sht but LP will and he’s right cops barely show up to retail calls in SD
Yeah bro, the mall cop is lying about his job. Get a grip dumb fuck.
Depends what part of sd.
“Thieves,” “kids,” lol. We all know who these people are. And we know why they are allowed to steal.
Yep....You can't say that on You Tube though
most likely these comments get shadowbanned without people even realizing it. Makes you think
because of the elites divide and conquer the populace to easier take all of their diamonds happend 100 times over by now
THANK YOU.
Every race steals…. The rich steal the poor steal….
As a San Diego native, I can 100% confirm that the mall were jumping with gang fights. Specifically fashion Valley, Mission Valley, and Plaza Bonita, especially given that the trolley runs through the malls. And most have a trolley that runs through their hoods.
You can't eat a Gucci belt. That sounds so profound :)
Except that people steal that kind of stuff to sell. Then they buy food with the money.
Exactly that shit sells lmao such a dumb take
Hasn’t he ever wondered how broke ghetto people be wearing designer shit? Lmao that shit stolen
My friends wife used to manage a Payless Shoe store back in the nineties. Their policy was to let someone just walk out of the store with shoes and write it down for loss prevention later
Much better than confronting someone and them pulling a gun out of something.
It was the busiest Payless in the state of Colorado at the time
Now it’s closed. Hahaha idiots
I mean they’d be doing Payless a favor lmaoo trash ass shoes
I was a department store plain clothed security guard in the mid 70's, while in college. No cameras! We had to covertly spot and catch them. Our policy was that i had to identify the specific item stolen and exact location before i could stop them. Took a lot more skill than sitting in a backroom watching a camera. As for calling them a "pussy".... all that does is promote fights and likely lawsuits. We had a great relationship with cops. In fact, as we were wating for the cops, we completed their incident report for them. We charged every thief we caught.
Yeah I could never be a mall security guard. I’d always be taking matters into my own hands.
Not in CA you wouldn't. They only prosecute non criminals.
"you cant eat a Gucci belt"
I definitely relate to this guy..... when I used to work at a gas station we would deal with intoxicated customers , massive beer and energy drink runs, to aggressive homeless people that would not want to leave the store ....cops eventually will hate you if keep calling them.... we finally learned that if we gave them free coffee they would occasionally drop by to check on the store
He doesn't talk about the part where certain stores will WATCH you steal. Let you steal a bunch of times, then build a case against you. I've seen the most unsuspecting friendly people go through that.
Cat said defending the country as a mall cop 😂😂
This is Paul Wall and Everlast's non rapper cousin
nahhh..hes mexican buddy
No it's Kevin James kid mall blart or whatever that movie is called
People’s champ lol

He’s an ese, ese. Forget about it cuh.

I spent the entire video distracted by what's on the back of his hat. What is going on there?
Anyone know what the catalyst was for the drastic change in how shoplifters are handled?
"Milk, bread....oysters..." necessities
Theo waiting years to drop that “Simpatico” 😂
Random normal people as guests are the best. I feel related to them.
Working security/loss prevention at target was the worst job I ever had
Can you imagine how bad cops have it. We have rules to specifically avoid arresting juveniles and if you arrest a adult for theft they’ll literally be out before the end of your shift. The reason why most cops I’m sure have an attitude is because everyone knows it’s a waste of time. Like Walgreens calls so many damn times per day cause people steal. By the time the call gets dispatched to us based on priority and by the time we get there, the offenders are long gone so it’s like why even bother calling, these corporate stores don’t want to lock up criminals and the State Attorney’s don’t want them in jail, it’s all a joke.
I work in retail. Man I see all types of people stealing. And I don’t stop them. I don’t get paid enough to do any of that. But low key these companies be scamming the customers with high prices and low quality stuff. So i understand both sides.
I get so tired of seeing celebs. This is good Theo. Keep it going and hopefully no one jacks your steez
I used to shoplift a tone now its getting harder with the live camera booths. And my face tattoos....
bummer
You ever thought about not being gay?
Rethinking that foolish decision, eh? Actions have consequences.
Honestly, I shop a lot less now after seeing how much people steal here in NorCal. Why spend money on designer stuff when people get it for free? 😂
I don’t look it at that way wtf. I don’t buy designer because it’s over priced. Not because others steal
I worked at a grocery store in high school. I saw an elderly woman attempt to steal an entire cart of groceries.
She played it off like she was confused, but I had watched her for several minutes while she made sure the coast was clear - she knew what she was doing.
After that, I changed my perceptions about what a thief would look like, but I also was able to consider why an elderly woman might be stealing groceries (she's prob hungry 🤷🏼♂️) or has children to feed with no money.
"How was y'all relationship? Simpatico o no?" Lol
That is why malls are closing. Pretty soon only online shopping will be available.
And then they just steal from your porch when you're gone working.
Yeah the security footage of them trying to stop a Precarious LaDarius at the door will soon be a thing of the past as it is replaced by Ring cam footage of porch piracy.
Malls were closing down before the massive spike in shoplifting
@@tcbobb1613 yup once computers and smartphones were available to everyone brick and mortar shops just couldn’t compete, these people live under a rock and think it’s because of something else lmao
Bro love you getting on pod with us regular joes. I drive a vac truck sounds interesting to me
It'd be a real shame if more people were to begin exploiting the flaws of both the legal system and corporate policies. Can you imagine the kind of revenue losses a high end luxury brand would experience if thieves were not only taking their inventory, but also undercutting their prices and selling to the same targeted demographic as the company? I'm just glad we got Mall Cops like this guy who makes an effort to keep us informed of the truth.
Rockin that Padres city connect 💪🏼 Dago love all day ⚡️⚡️
I don't understand the point of mall security. They don't do any thing. No matter where you're at
For the most part all security guards in retail stores are just security theatre.
@@Eirik_Bloodaxe nah, it's for insurance reasons. They get a discount on their policy by having a on duty guard.
they scare some ppl into maybe not stealing lol
In Florida we have a thing called a Class G license for security employees. All you have to be is a citizen or legal alien over the age of 21.
“WTF is going on?”
lol I felt that. I’ve seen that too much
THEO! Get me on the show brother. Ive been in the security/ surveillance industry for close to 15yrs. Ive got crazy stories for days !
Shoplifting has always been easy.
Companies don’t give a damn about the merchandise, They only care about lawsuits against them.
My girl was a office manager in a local grocery store for 7 years. There is nothing they can do unless they SEE you steal, and never loose sight of you. And after they could take the plate number and call local PD.
Because you need proof or else it’s hearsay? That’s why they need to see you or have video evidence. But alot of places also have a don’t chase policy or don’t confront policy because workers have been attacked before over what some fucking milk? Some beer? Lmao
You can eat a belt. Leather has kept sailors alive many a time. Max Miller tasting history covered it pretty good.
Yeah, you can eat a belt.. but those Louis Vito belts are really bitter… 😂
It probably gives these blue collar workers the best life experience being on theos show at this point. I mean he's interview the biggest celebs and he still is very humble. All❤ theo
My buddy use to live right next to a k mart one day playing basketball my buddys uncle comes running out the store trips over a curb on the side of the lot his flip flops went flying proceeded to face plant then 3 dudes piled on top of em then took him inside lol these guys didnt play back in the day sad they can only watch and do nothing now we need to stop these criminals
if you want to steal from a store you never steal anything worth more than ~30$/50$ and never more than one thing at a time. and it can't be anything of high demand either. stick to really basic stuff you'll get through ur rough patch
Under 1000$ for it to not be a felony and ur good
Tune in next week and we’ll have a librarian talk about how fed up they are with homeless people hanging out in there 😂

Let them be? I work security and don't let any cops onto my property unless they're called. Its private property and they can't enter without my permission.
"Kids" lmao
Glad to see someone repping San Diego 🤙 Bobby Lee should do it more often
