A video of a man was recently uploaded on the Instagram page sgfollowsall which shows an uncle stealing from a shop. It is believe that the uncle who is seen riding on a PMD is a serial thief and he has been caught on video stealing from the same stall several times.
Here is the full story.
In case you are looking for answers.
1. The video is recorded by the CCTV and re-recorded again
2. The sales associate was busy with another customer and the uncle was located at a blind spot from where she was.
3. We only zoomed into the uncle because we only want to showcase the uncle stealing and protect non related personnel
4. The video is posted for all retail to be wary of and take note
5. We did not report to the police because if you did not catch the person red handed, normally there is nothing you can do.
6. The procedure of reporting to the police is very tedious and takes up a lot of time and effort.
7. Yes, we caught theft red handed before and we know the procedures. P.S some companies would rather just ask the person to just pay up and not make any police reports because of the tedious process.
8. You be thinking, your things are so easy to steal, why you want to place it like that? – FYI, should people be stealing in the first place? – FYI again, yes, it has a security tag but the uncle still steals it.
9. We have caught a few theft red handed before and you know what, it also places us in a very difficult position when they beg and cry for you to not call the police. Try being in that situation and you will feel very uncomfortable.
10. Why we never post the rest of the theft case? – they are caught red handed and have been handed over to the police. This uncle has yet to be caught since 2019. From how he stole, you can see that he steals very often and is an expert. Most likely his bag consist of all the things that was stolen.
If you see him, please ask him to stop stealing.
Actually this is not the first and last case of theft cases. There are many many theft cases happening everyday at different retail outlets. No matter how much precaution you take there is always theft cases. Especially a kiosk like us where it is an open concept. I hope that everyone can help to keep a look out for theft and for those who steals, please seek help and stop stealing.
