I'm old now, been around for a long time. Never, and I mean never, in my long life have read even one headline that said: Police are requesting public help in identifying a crooked lawyer. Or, for that matter: Police are requesting public help in identifying a deceitful politician. Or how about: Police are requesting public help in identifying the CEO of a bank that may have squandered 10 billion dollars. Has anyone else?

I agree with Sylvia....Everything that is stolen from a grocery store helps raise the costs of what you buy....And EXCUSE ME...But "grazing" is stealing/theft....For example....pass me your bunch of bananas to weigh...and 2 empty banana skins...guess what...I am going to take to bananas of your bunch and scale them and get you to pay for the 2 empty banana peals you just passed me and asked me to get rid of.....And those grapes you munched on while shopping....Who the hell pays for them??Grocery shoppers can be worse,over all, then regular shop lifters....IMHO!!!

Wouldn't it be funny if his name was on the sleeve of his jacket?

Yeah, Sylvia. Let's just dispense with the trial. It would only seem fitting that your picture would be shown in the Guardian as a thief. Oh, I know you're not, but let everyone automatically assume you are, just like you have!!

It should be easy to identify this thief. What really p****s me off about shoplifters is that the loss by businesses is passed on to honest consumers. I hope this thief is caught and prosecuted.

With all due respect to CPD, a convicted rapist recently got a 2 year sentence, and a 4th time DUI got a 1-yr suspension of his license. Please forgive us if we don't put on our superhero capes and look for a guy who probably took $6 worth of merch from a store. I hope this guy gets to see the courtroom, and I will comply if I recognize him, but the convicted rapist didn't get his picture in the paper. The next woman he meets online might not recognize him, and he uses an alias. Time to get our media alerts into priority, you think?
