$2,000 worth of clothing at ROSS??? That's a pretty big haul considering that most items are $20 and under. His basket must have been be filled to the brim and he would have to have strolled clear out the door with the tags setting off the door alarm like crazy. Not to mention how does he plan to detach all of the security tags. How did the staff not stop this guy?
Slow news day.
Seriously. How the hell does someone steal $2000 worth of clothing at Ross without being noticed? That's at least 100 pieces of clothing. LOL
Coon says she's worried about the man graduating to more violent crimes. Like what, sneakers from Foot Locker?
Interesting phrasing in this story. It is described as a robbery, not as shoplifting. Does that mean that he in fact used a weapon to take the items out of the store?
Also, does the sentence, "Police are trying to find him before more violent crimes occur" mean
(a) before crimes which are more violent occur"
or
(b) "before more crimes which are violent occur"
Just curious.
This guy looks like he's doing his Christmas shopping a little early' With that size of a load im surprised he didn't just drive the truck right off the loading dock.
This man has absolutely positively no business at all in stealing from a Ross Department Store. Even if he is totally destitute that still doesn't give him any right to steal at all period. Even if you are poor and destitute and in dire need of clothing you should ask first before you even begin taking those particular items to begin with. This man must make full restitution for what he has done. And he must totally reimburse the store for all the items that he had stolen. And he should return all the items that he had stolen from the store. This man is costing the store countless numbers of dollars which further results in a loss of profits both for the business and everyone involved. Excessive and compulsive shoplifting not only compromises a loss of wages for store employees but also a loss of business for the store itself. It is a no win situation either way. Once that store looses it's business there is no way that you can bring it back. Once that business is gone it is gone forever. If the business restablishes itself it will take a very long time to get that business back into full strength again. What this man is doing is tarnishing the good reputation of this particular business as a direct result of his actions. Once that reputation has been completely tarnished there is absolutely positively no way that it can be maintained again. Not only is this miscreant hurting this particular business he is also hurting himself as well. He is totally compromising his reputation and his future by merely engaging in these most deceptive acts. And he must face the dire consequences of his actions. He must face the penalty most adherent to his particular crime. He can't have it both ways. This man has committed a crime and he needs to assume full responsibility for the crime in which he had committed. This man is both a detriment and a menace to this entire community as a whole. We most certainly don't need perpetrators such as him meandering the streets of this community and robbing yet another innocent victim. He needs to be taken off of the streets so that he doesn't inflict any more harm to another innocent victim. He has inflicted enough harm to one victim and we most certainly don't need him to inflict any more harm to anyone else for that particular matter. Likewise,all who in some manner have taken part in a theft or who have knowingly benefited from it for example,those who ordered it,assisted in it,or received the stolen goods are obliged to make restitution in proportion to their responsibility and to their share of what was stolen. I sincerely hope that the police find this man and that he gets prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law possible.
That guy looks like a professional shoplifter.
Incomplete stories like this one are irritating. Was a gun involved? Did he threaten anyone, or did he just run out of the store with the shopping cart? And where's the rest of the surveillance footage? Geez, this is awful reporting.
The suspect was last seen wearing a brand new...
cheap suit.
maybe he's a transvestible
Comment removed by staff.
$2000 at Ross? He must've had like 10 shopping carts full of stuff.
THIS is what happens when the economy goes way south. And this is only the beginning...people. The clerks at Ross wouldn't notice a rip-off if you put it right in front of their face! As evidenced by the story above! They're idiots and don't even ask for ID when you pay for purchases with a credit card. Perhaps Ross should quit "quota hiring" and actually hire people with a brain!
To MVoisinet
After that "what can I say" WOW
Quota hiring, lvelegante? Lots of stores in Las Vegas don't ask for ID with credit cards. Different stores have different policies. Thanks for sharing your intelligence with us.
Look at it this way. If he took 5 shoppong carts with him well, at least he is enterprising and 5 homeless people will have 5 NEW shopping carts to push around on the streets.
It had to be a inside job to steal that much stuff.
Early Christmas shopping.
Man, If your going to steal and take the risk of a felony or worse, Ross makes no sense. I wonder if he sized the clothes for different people or just himself?
This kind of theft is the reason that prices have to go up- we all pay for this greed. Who is this guy? why should he get everything free? He probably has our government paying for his 5 kids. rent and food stamps- That alone creates a feeling of entitlement. Why give free money and services to anyone- Get off your ass and go work, loser. Or how about going back to the country you are from and dont come back- loser. What a fat, greedy, slob. He obviously steals a lot of food too.
MVoisinet: I sure hope you're not up for any jury duty in the near future
No kidding. If they catch the guy, they should sentence him to a stern lecture a day by MVoisinet. That'll cure him of his criminal tendencies.
Maybe this guide should work in Harry Reid's office. He would bring home some more pork for Nevada, like steal a maglev train.
I'm assuming this is such big news by the fact that it was $2K and nobody noticed? And also, the baskets at Ross have poles attached to them so you can't even leave the store. So, yeah, how was he able to steal $2K worth of clothing?
Claim to police/insurer = $2,000
Actual worth = $200
$57 trillion in government robbery debt and no call to crime stoppers? = priceless
: {
This guy lives in my complex.lol i knew it .. he has been selling the stuff to folks around here... what a way to make a buck
okra, Stop! I can't quit laughing!
i bet he took all the clothes back to mexico and is selling them in those ghetto malls in Tijuana
I swear I come on here everday just to read some of you peoples comments!You guy's and girls got me crying from laughing so hard..lmao
MVoisant.... Whens the signing tour for the book you wrote....Punishment for Shoplifters By MVoisant...available at a bookstore near you....
The winner of the funnest comment goes to OKRA.lmao The suspect was last seen wearing a cheap suit.omg I'm dyeing from laughing!!!and the lady with the extra long comment sounds like he or she is really upset with this guy!!lol
The word robbery means force or violence or the threat of, but the article mentions nothing specific. Whaapened, really?
okra.....Still laughing!!! Home Run, Thanks!
The alleged robber in the photo does resemble Hines Ward of the Pittsburgh Steelers.....
If I were the NLV theft task force, I would hit all the swap meets and yard/garage sales and most likely will catch the suspect.
Isn't that Howie Doit?

Yep, and I agree with Wolf85023 w/the inside job, and also the fact that that is just the beginning of the Holidays, they're going to need to put temporary Metro substations in the parking lots of the major malls around town,.. I believe alot of these cashiers and retail employees' are REALLY gonna be earning their money this year.
the claims of 2000 in clothe has to be a little over the top that would be a whole rack of clothes in ross!It sounds like blown up numbers...
This happened last month and we're just hearing about it. He's probably ripped off a thousand more stores from coast to coast by now. That's some damn fine police work by the LV cops.
From the beer gut to the bald head this guy has some age on him. May have lived in K.C., Mo. and hung around the Westport area and specifically a bar on Westport Road that served rock n'rye and the best roast beef sandwiches. If available, peanuts were on the tables and the peanut shells went on the floor. Bender's Hole in the Wall was the name of the bar where a car load of clothes were taken from a really super fine convertible and then in Vegas on TAM Drive the top of the convertible was cut and the groceries taken out as though being delivered by a OB man.
The economy is not what we would like it to be, that doesn't mean that everyone should be shoplifting. There are two comments that I find racist, that person in the picture dosn't look hispanic, why would he go to mexico and take all cloths over there when he can sell them here.

I'm with you!! I've been in that store dozens of times. He had to have an accomplice on the inside.
Gotta admit: The comments are priceless!! lolololol Thanks you guys!!
He has hardly anything in his cart!! WTF! And $2000 at Ross is more than one cart full. That's a lot of sheets, towels, candles, Christmas stuff, toys, underwear, ties, shoes, purses, chachki stuff, throw pillows, cheap jewelry, stupid food gifts, cookware, etc etc etc.
Instead of going to Jarred's this holiday, I'm going to Ross's and get some free goods.
