Overview

Once upon a time, Michele Van Ryn believed shoplifting to be an act only those under teenage peer pressure or those struggling to make ends meet would perform. She was wrong. Shoplifting truly knows no bounds-but who shoplifts, and why? In To Catch a Shoplifter, Michele lifts the curtain on twenty years of working a job with many names: retail investigator, floorwalker, secret shopper. What she presents is people with a wide variety of backgrounds, motivations, and strategies, sacrificing absurd things just to save a little bit of cash. Whether people shoplifted because they thought they could get away with it or because they needed to scrape by, Michele has caught them all. Join her as she tells over fifty funny, mindboggling, and sometimes heartbreaking stories of apprehending shoplifters.
