Why didn't one of the employees hit the button and close the security gate and lock them in

[moneejimmerson]

I'm not surprised at WHO THEY ARE!!

[karlmartin]

I know these brothers aren't stealing this under wear for their 250 lb. Sisters.

[shnuppyable]

Should not be that expensive then common sense

[jessicabuck]

Major point- I'm not paying for this, you price guage there gonna steal from you just to spite you. Come on man. Customer service 101.

They're Putties in disguise! Call the Power Rangers, they're making an underwear monster for Rita!

Men in a VS store is already a red flag. Unless the staff is in on it, no one seem to have stop them. I would say something if I see something and start taking pictures. Looks like an inside job. I would have pulled the Grill down immediately and closed them inside.

This is the REAL reason malls are closing all across America.
Soon we will be just like Zimbobwe, Somalia, Rhuwanda.

I worked in a nice retail store. Their opinion on theft varies widely from store to store. The one i worked at was not serious about prosecuting. Once word got out problems got out of hand.

Why would they steal women's underwear they ain't even used yet?! 😗

[jefftube]

Unless the store takes swift action as soon as suspicious looking people come in the store that wouln't normally be shopping there, nothing will change. Buttons employees can push to close and lock doors. Immediately calling police, not waiting to call them.

People need to be housed and fed
And loved this is what happens when there is not enough love in the world
Known one cares anymore.

[esharenee]

These people is just so bold these days smh. They need some electronic doors that locks EVERYBODY in when they see a thief and call the police. Something gosh.

One those undies are more than likely a couple seasons old. And should have been cleared from the shelves years ago. They been charging over the top prices. What seems more logical, they selling em or donating. You think Robin hoods were happy when they came home don't think so. The 20 year war caused everyone to sell out. Tell me something Charlie's angels have you worn any new undies or designs. Or was it just the wings and no brand . If the drawer are never opened the accuire dust. Guess the undies will speak for themselves. Why you think the company is rebranded. They haven't been rotating stock. So the company will be covered tax deductible. The issue lies were no one is watching and how quickly they can come in and out . This is what causes the unsafe " training day". Lackadaisical sales girls, that make up the # me to Megan trainer. Its not the actual underwear. A human being weither male or female enjoys a high quality product. Weither or not they are using the cupcake only to discover it's a little weinne. Thus we come to non meaning the absence of. Combined with binary were you involve to things expressed as 2 rather than 10. Put it together non - binary your a blank space Taylor swift. Taylor swift. Gender norms sounds like a " growing pain" that needs healthy " gender identity" outlet. LQBQT I kissed a girl and i liked it.
Common sense people you honestly think Victoria don't want to know what the secret is and why she ain't making money. Secret shoppers for a reason. No one can afford to buy black market underwear those are triple the cost. Seems to me they need a new outlet to showcase the modern woman. A poster board can do alot for advertising, but when you got a hole in the wall buiness, it detours people. Who, what, when, were, why, location, location, location.

Just think if someone was getting beat up in that store. I guess you could have someone getting beat up in there every day for a week or so and nothing would happen.

[MikeSmith-fswh]

Why can't some cute girl steal MY underwear?

[themadhatter]

Someone really pissed of their girlfriend

[nonozebra]

Every store should place a guard at the door, criminals should be prosecuted
Why do we have to pay the raised prices

[anthonylewis]

Jay, What Sense Does That Make For Victoria Secrets To Have Loss Prevention???? Are You Kidding Me??? Are You In LP Or Do You Understand All Aspects Of The Business??? Victoria Secrets 1. To Make Their Clothes $3.00 2. Merchandise Is Then Marked Up 500% 3. A Million Dollar Lawsuit vs $3.00 Product??? Does That Make Any Sense????

[cjzanders]

Wait, where are all the N word comments at for these white guys Why so silent???
