By KAREN VELIE

The Paso Robles Police Department is asking for the public’s help identifying a man who allegedly stole multiple items from Walmart on Niblick Road. The man left the store with a cart full of unpaid for items.

Police are circulating a surveillance image of the man leaving the store with more than $200 worth of merchandise. The blond or brunette man is wearing an orange and grey Giant’s shirt.

Investigators are asking anyone who has information about the suspect to call the Paso Robles Police Department.

I know Walmart to have a loss prevention team and cameras throughout their store so I’m sure they were keeping an eye on this guy knowing full well what he was up to.

The question is why they allowed him to walk out of the store without detaining him shortly thereafter. So it was well below the $950.00 threshold of which this Godless state allows thieves to steal. He still should have been detained, the police called, and arrested. It makes absolutely no fricking sense.

And we all scream that we’re having to pay higher prices when shopping. It’s not only inflation caused by our out of control spending government. It’s caused by these type of lowlife scumbags as well.

“ is why they allowed him to walk out of the store without detaining him “


Seriously? You expect low wage employees to confront criminals?


That said if a wallmart worker puts hands on someone, you get fired, this include loss prevention. Wallmart only cares about profit and liability.


“this Godless state” Good, fantasy’s have no place in a free peoples government.


“Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.”

kettle, I worked as a loss prevention employee at the Kmart in A-Town from 1989 to 1992 and again in 1998 to 2000 so I have retrospective. Never were ‘low wage’ employees expected to confront criminals. That’s why Kmart at the time had Loss Prevention employees. If an employee did in fact see something unusual, they notified us. It was up to LP to apprehend the shoplifters. By the way, I earned a meager $9.75 per hour during that time.

I apprehended many shoplifters in the years I was there and not once was I fired or sued. Some were combative and made threats of suing me/the corporation, but most were compliant because they knew they had been caught red-handed. And the APD never ever had an issue with showing up and taking the bad actors to jail. As for [profit] and liability, that’s the free market capitalism way my friend.

My comment about the “Godless state”. Perhaps I should have said Lawless state. That’s where we are at this time in California. I’m sorry for triggering you. Allow me to say this however, if we were a God fearing Country/World, we would not be experiencing the lawlessness that has enveloped not only our own little slice of the world, but the world as a whole.

One last thing. If the Walmart loss prevention team had done the job they are hired to do, the perp would have been arrested and we wouldn’t be reading about this here at CCN. And Walmart should do away with that function of their operation.

The best sword I ever did wield in battle was given to me by a woman lying in a pond.

Looks like a loser.

Why bother, you’ll just let him out again or off with a simple ticket. Put these tax wasting low life’s back in jail, I’ll pay for that.

I Absolutely agree with you. Thell give hi a “No Cash Bail” or a “Cite and Release” and he will likely be a repeat offender.
