Shoplifting is part of retailing but this punk has been taking over $500 worth of products (supplements, filters, foods, books, etc) almost every week and I though he was a good customer. To make it worse, he uses his little kids to do help him! He comes in every week with his friend (who does buy regularly) and get his kids to distract me or be his mules. So I'm sure he has gotten $$$ thousands over the last few weeks alone. It was only until today (do to heavy xmas traffic) while reviewing our survaillance video that I discovered this punk's handywork:

This is a freeze frame of the guy stealing a $100 book:

This is him before he stuffs his sweatsuit with over 10 bottles of kent chemicals (and not the small 16ml bottles, he took the large 300ml ones!) - notice the bulge in his pants, its a $50 heavy duty air pump:

This is him getting ready to stuff that $40 wavetimer in his pants:

Quality is a bit grainy because size of 50k limits on RC. I have some high-quality photos (500kb+) and video (2 to 30MB - about 15 minutes of him shoplifting all over the store) so if someone has the server space to post them, let me know. It would be a great help. You wouldn't belive it until you look of this looser stuffing stolen good into his pants, telling his kids to distract me, giving stolen good to his little boy to hold, and even stealing our office supplies!

If you know him or even if he is your friend, turn him in before he comes back to my store because he will be dealt with SEVERELY if he ever tires it again. You can contact the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office at 303-795-4711 and reference case #AC-04-44621 to turn him in. Trust me, he will be ALOT better off in jail than comming back to my store.

As you can see in the photos above, he is a middleaged overwheight hispanic male with a mustache and fat nose. Below is a pic of his friend but I'm not sure if they are working together or not (the little girls's face is blurred to protect her - although the dad didnt seem to care much about protecting her at the time)

Help me get this sick bastard. Makes me want to vomit thinking about how those poor kids are forced to do this.

Kei,
I work at the Adams County Jail. If you want to email me a better quality photo, I could pass it around at work and see if anyone recognizes him as a frequent flyer. I would imagine he's been picked up before, based on how much he is taking. It seems that we share criminals w/ Arapahoe Co quite frequently.
Even if you don't figure out who he is right away, next time he comes in, and he will come back, you can call the S.O., and/or get a license plate, and maybe even have him fill out some promotion for something free! (Providing his full name and address, of course!)

wow

wow

Thats crazy. I wonder what his kids are going to be like when they are older.:mad2: You should notify the other shops in Denver to see if hes shopplifted any where else.:blown:
 
Kei, do you think this is tied to the other issues you were having? If not, he obviously needs to move these items. You might want to check eBay.
 
What really breaks my heart is that his two kids always come in the store so happy wanting to play with my english bulldog, the store cat and Nemo the macaw for a good 1/2 hour just like many other kids. The little girl even walks around the store carrying Dorie (the cat) like she was her baby and the boy can't get enough of Trunks' (the bully). But unlike other kids, by the time they leave, they always looked scared, unhappy and tense. I used to think it was because they were disapointed for having to leave the animals behind but now I know its because they where being forced to carry all that stolen merchendise by their dad. It just makes me sick.

I am sure that the other LFS have been hit and I'm letting them know too. That bastard probably drags his kids all over town doing the same thing. He did say he had just come from ReefnPond and Ki's the last time he was here. I have had a good share of smalltime shoplifters in the store but nothing as perverted as this guy.

jdallred, he is not connected to the other issue I was having but thanks for the concern - this one is just a plain thief. The other guy is into vandalism. Its nice to have a digital surveillance system in the store though.

randy, I'm working on getting a good pic. The video is so detailed that a normal resolution still is over 1MB! It would be easier and faster to pick up or send you a CD copy. I gave the sheriff's officer a CDR with about 20mins worth of video and it was like 300MB large.

Here's a face shot of the guy.

On this one, he just gave that little boy 2 bottles of Kent Garlic Extreme which then the boy puts in his pocket and walks out of the store. The kid then comes back into the store and resumed playing with my dog:

Here, the guy is stuffing a $50 pump into his pants:

That is so messed up!!!

Hey Kei - I can set up a ftp space where you can upload the higher quality photos and the movie if you want. Send me a PM if interested and I will make it on the RMRC server...

This guy should be caught!
 
The sad thing is that his kids are going to be the exact same way when they get older because that is how they were raised. It is a never ending cycle. The scumbag should be deported.
You got some good pics of him, I think that the authorities will get him. Good luck & keep us posted.
 
Seriously, that is screwed up. BIG TIME. I could never imagine putting my 4 year old daughter up to something like that. I hope they catch the fargin icehole.
 
The "deported" comment is probably out of line...unless there is some reason to suspect that he is not a citizen which just being hispanic is not.

I would definitely like him out of the freely-walking population for a good long time, however. Maybe having Daddy spend a couple months (if there's any justice) behind bars might teach the kids a different lesson. Alas, I can only hope.
 
I really have to agree on the "deported" comment.Do you know him and can verify he is not from this country? It 's pathetic what he is having his kids do ,but dont make the assumption he is from another country.
 
JEMichael IV, thanks offer the offer. After thinking it carefully, I rather not upload the movie publicly because it shows the kids doing alot of illegal stuff and I can't blurr their faces in a movie. The father I could not care less but for the kids its not their fault and they are suffering enough as it is. Public humiliation is fine for the father but the kids don't deserve it and I want to keep them anonymous. But thanks anyways.

The pics are comming out really well and I hope if anyone here sees this guy at an LFS, alert the staff or call the police immediately! If you want a high quality pic, you can get a copy at my store or I can email you one if you have a fast server.

Instead of a movie, here is a "wonderfull" sequence of him stuffing about $300 worth of chemicals in his sweatsuit in less than 1 minute:

BTW, I like Johns idea of setting it up on a server so you can get it out there. Perhaps one of the members knows who it is......Met or sold something to him..... or bought a hot item from him... Worth a shot.
 
He has to be sellin this stuff, I know we dont use that much stuff for our tanks.Someone should recognize him, we see all the same ppl at the shops
 
Hi Ki,

What a @#$%!&*?@# shame but, great photos. He will get caught I'm sure. In fact I bet someone PM's you with the info.

Now, just a thought. If I'm reading between the lines in your comments, if he ever comes into your store again he is going to fall down and get hurt (To say the least). If I'm right and your thinking of kicking his lower extreameties IMHO you would be only screwing yourself. He will sue the hell out of you and win while he gets a smack on the wrist. Even if he get's a big sentence it probably won't mean a thing to him but, if you do him harm he will own you.

Just a thought for you to ponder. BUT, if you do take matter's into your own hands, please give him a kick in the ____'s for me.

That is terrible. If you need any muscle to hang out at the store I am sure many of us could help.

The county guys could be ther in a second as they are only 1/2 a block up the street.

Let me know how I can help.
