Thanks for all the support guys!
The cops are no help. Let's face it, hundreds of stores are shoplifted everyday and mine is just another case number among thousands in Denver. Even if caught in the act, he won't get more than a slap on the wrist.
So realistically, my goal is to publicize this scumbag's personal info as much as possible to the point that he gets arrested everytime he pulls this nonsense even if he runs. If he gets arrested enough times, then he can be put away for a long time and maybe give those kids a better environment.
But honestly, I would be content for him to never come back to my store again. I trust myself to be civil enough to simply call the police if he ever came back. But I must admit there is that nagging temptation for serving some vigilante justice which may end up backfiring on me as Hal and Murdock have warned. So, I rather keep him away and let the cops pick him up at his home or another store.
We will see what happens. I have been getting some good tips and many people recognize him but the personal info is still too vague. If I can confirm his name and address, he can be picked up by the cops and get the legal process started.
Thanks again for the support.
