Shoplifter Caught Red-Handed... With The Receipt For What He Stole
Tyler wasn't even trying to hide his crime. He literally kept the receipt.
What Happened
Tyler walked into a Best Buy. He grabbed a $400 PS5 game console. He walked out. He was caught immediately.
Why? Because security footage showed Tyler walking to customer service 20 minutes earlier and getting a receipt printed. The receipt was for the exact item he stole. He was holding it when security stopped him.
Why This Matters
Some people commit crimes without understanding how crimes work.
