False Imprisonment - Shoplifting

When we were talking about false imprisonment and shoplifting, it reminded me of something I saw a while back. As I was walking into a grocery store, a guy sprinted past me, and an employee sprinted past him only seconds later. The first guy was trying to steal a pack of beer. I just thought it was interesting how the employee ran after the guy into the parking lot because as we talked about in class, many places would just let it go because the time, cost, and effort would just be less.
