So, I worked today at my part time job at the Arden Fair Mall. A co-workers Grandma is in the hospital and is dying so I thought I would help her out and work her shift for her. I work at Crabtree and Evelyn and we have a little store. A women came in with her four children, 16 yr old male, 12 yr old male, 8 yr old female and 2 yr old male in a stroller. My co-worker Diana started talking to the lady as normal and I started talking to the baby and little girl. The two boys went off in the other direction and I thought the oldest one had left the store. The middle boy was over in the corner looking at our sleepwear, didn't really think much of it, but as I turned back towards the mother and other two children I heard our backroom door close. I turn and now the older boy is in the store and the only place he could have come from is our backroom, but by the time I put all of this together the family is leaving the store and I say to Diana that I think he was back there. I think because I did not see. She runs to the backroom and her wallet is open and she is missing her cash, I then look at mine and so am I so run out and watch them go into Nordstroms while Diana calls security (which by the way is a JOKE!). I stay back thinking I don't have any authority to do anything, following them but waiting for the mall security. I follow them outside of Nordstroms and around the back of JCPenneys towards Macy's when the security guards find me. I tell them want happened and the one on the bike is right behind them. I say that is them but he doesn't do anything. The family enters into Macy's and the security just sits there. What are you waiting for, that is them. They (the GREAT mall security) can't go into Macy's because they don't have jurisdiction. Macy's Loss Prevention has to invite them in, which takes a good five minutes. So the jerks got our money and they can't do anything about it. The cops show up go into Macy's but can't find a family of five that fits my description because the mother has ditched the stroller and decided to split up. All in all, I am out $66 and Diana is out almost $200. WHO teaches their children to do this? WHO thought it was okay to make your children thieves? WHY do we have mall security if they CAN'T do anything? I want to find this mother and slap her across her face, have her children taken away from her and her ovaries taken out so she can NEVER again bare children. People suck. I hate the world we live in today. I am scared to have children because they will have to interact with these children, they will be faced with these kinds of people. What happened to getting up and going to a REAL job to earn money for your family. WHY would you think it is okay to steal from people who are probably struggling more than you are. WHO have TWO jobs for a reason. Is there anywhere in the world that is safe to try and raise a family?

that sucks! i hear you on the making her not be able to have any more children. i have the same fears as you do with my kids, but all i can do is make our home the best place for them. sorry you had to go through that.
I am so sorry that happened to you!!! I really pray for that woman and hope that she is caught so her children have a chance to learn there are consequences and stop their bad behavior now!
At least they didn't take your credit cards!!!
I'm going to bet that is not the first time they have pulled that stunt. I bet the mother knew exactly what was going on. She seriously should have her kids taken away though! I can't believe the mall rent-a-cops didn't do Anything at all. You probably should have just called the real police and filed a police report. That totally sucks that they stole all your cash. I'm sorry.
