Back in the day I worked at a Sears store in a questionable neighborhood . Store loss prevention was extremely busy . One day they chased a shoplifter in a trench coat outside and a sawed-off shotgun fell out of his jacket onto the ground . They gave up pursuit at that point .
Sears, really? Why not a bank? The felony charge can't be worth whatever is inside of a Sears department store.
It was a bad neighborhood , Richmond CA . That shotgun was probably for their own protection from other robbers lol .
The same store was robbed one night . I was working on the lower floor warehouse and the very pregnant young lady at the merch pick-up desk was robbed at gunpoint just before closing . The robber escaped with a moneybag full of receipts , that's all they dealt with at that desk , no actual money .
