The chocolate thief
I was in the local supermarket which was undergoing some minor renovations. As such their security gate which beeps at you was disabled, you could wander in and out.

I was wandering through the fruit aisle when I saw a guy carrying a huge handful of cadbury's blocks, the family sized ones. He must have had 10 of them in total.

As I went into the next aisle, who should I spy but Mr Chocolate, stuffing the blocks into the front of his tracksuit top. He then walked out the door and into the carpark.

I wasn't going to chase him down myself but I went to the desk, pointed after the guy and said "that guy just walked out with about sixty bucks worth of chocolate!"

Blank stares.

"What?"

You know that feeling you get when you see something, like a meteorite flashing across the sky, and you say "Wow, look at that!" and point, and your friend looks at your hand, then your face, then back to your hand instead of the sky? I felt like that, they were missing it entirely.

"The guy who walked out just now had about sixty dollars worth of chocolate down his top".

The two staff members exchanged looks. One of them slowly walked to get a better view of the doors, then walked back and looked at me rather blankly.

"Um.." They looked at each other again.

"He was wearing a blue tracksuit and a cap, and he had handfuls of chocolate blocks."

I start getting the feeling that they're not going to call some code over the PA system and have some sort of response to this.

"Just thought you should know" I say and leave them to it.

The guy was still in a car with his friend, noshing down on his stolen chocolate when I left 10 minutes later.
