Watch as this family walks out of the store with $5000

Don't shoplift; instead, just buy stuff or don't buy it.

For most of us, the thought of shoplifting is aghast-inducing. We can't imagine walking out of a store with $5,000 worth of merchandise in our hands and not feeling like we're getting away with something. But for this family, it's just another day at the mall. They appear to be ready to go, but then the father puts down their cart and starts grabbing stuff off shelves. He keeps some items - like purses and clothes - in his hands while he takes others back into the store on his cart. He leads his son from the store with goods in their hands as though they were paying customers doing exactly what they came here for (only cheaper).

The family appears to be ready to go.

As you watch the family, it appears that they are ready to go. The father is holding the cart, which may be empty or filled with items for purchase. The mother is looking around and does not seem happy; perhaps she is waiting for her son or husband to get something off of the shelf. Meanwhile, their son looks pretty happy as he holds something in his hand while smiling at his mother. He seems to be holding an object given to him by an employee of the store (perhaps a toy car or stuffed animal).

The father also appears ready to leave with his family: he's carrying several items from their shopping trip!

The father keeps the cart for a moment, then moves it out with his son.

As the father moves his son's hand from the cart, he keeps it for a moment. He then drops the handle and begins to push the cart out of the store. The mother follows behind him with her arms full of dresses, which she has presumably selected for their children's summer camping trip.

The father looks over his shoulder at what seems to be another customer walking into the store, then turns back around quickly as if to avoid eye contact with them. As they exit through the automatic doors, we see that this new customer is in fact a cashier who has just come outside after finishing up her shift inside. She appears confused by what she sees but goes back inside anyway without saying anything else or making any noticeable movements toward following them outside somewhere near where they were parked across two handicap spots (which are reserved for people with special needs).

The father leads his son from the store with goods in their hands.

Watch as this family walks out of the store with goods in their hands. The father is leading his son, who is smiling and happy, but not thinking about the consequences or what they have done. They are not worried at all and they don't even care that you are watching them. This is because they know that no one will stop them from taking the goods because no one would ever suspect that these two men would steal anything!

The mother stops at the door and glances around.

You watch as the mother stops at the door, glances around and then turns back to face you.

She's looking for security guards. She's looking for cameras that might be recording her actions. She's looking for witnesses who can confirm she was only in there with her children and husband without any intent to steal anything. And most importantly, she's looking for a way out of this situation if she decides not to leave with what they've taken so far - more than $5000 worth of stuff - from your store.

But after searching all over the store and finding nothing but an empty hallway behind you, she gives up on trying to find an excuse or get away from you and walks with her family out of your store with their shopping cart full of stolen items from your store in hand!

He smiles at her, but she ignores him.

The father smiles at his wife. "What do you think, honey?" he asks.

She is not happy with this $5000 purchase because they have stolen it and are being caught on camera. The mother looks around nervously and then replies, "I don't know, let's just go."

As the family walks away from the store with their new purchases, the father continues to smile while his wife looks more worried than ever before in this video that was filmed in United Kingdom.

She joins her husband and son outside and they all start to laugh.

The mother laughs because she is happy. She laughs because she is relieved to have gotten away with it. She laughs because she is glad that her husband and son helped her pull off such a sweet heist, and they all got away scot-free.

She laughs because she's proud of herself. She's proud of her family.

Don't shoplift; instead, just buy stuff or don't buy it.

While you may think that shoplifting is an easy way to get what you want without paying for it, the truth is that shoplifting can lead to serious consequences. Shoplifting is a crime and can result in jail time, fines, and even a criminal record. Don't risk these negative outcomes by using the "it wasn't me" excuse. Just because someone else has your ID doesn't mean that you can't be held responsible for their actions if they choose to steal something from a store or restaurant.

If you need help with any financial problems you are facing now or in the future, consider speaking with an attorney who specializes in this area of law.

Conclusion

Remember: shoplifting is bad. But if you are going to shoplift, just don't get caught.
