1. A guy who works in a brand-name service station a few blocks from here, if a woman is pumping gas at night, he will beckon her to come inside, "for her safety." Then he locks the door and comes on to the woman. Several times he has actually put his hands on them.
(The cops are working on this, collaborating stories, and trying to catch him in the act. I hope they can give him a severe sentenct, because sex offenders generally escalate (if he hasn't already) to worse crimes, and if he gets a light sentence, he will be out soon and can harm more women.)
2. A sales clerk in a store in Houston, also a crook; a shopper walked out without her charge card. She remembered where she had left it, and went back, but they clerk claimed he did not have it. She got the manager and insisted they play back the servelayance (sp?) video, and there, lo an behold, is the guy clearly visible putting her charge card into his back pocket.
He bought beer and cigarettes before they put a stop on the card.
The manager refused to admit his employee was a thief, even in the face of the video. However, later, the lady did note that the guy was no longer working at that store.
I heard both those stories this week, in my neighborhood.
