“I know it might be a psychology thingy but is there a way to help him stop? What happen if no one bails him out? What is the punishment for repeated shoplifting?” — Netizen

A netizen took to social media to write about their uncle’s chronic shoplifting habit. Despite being caught thrice for shoplifting, in a span of two years, the netizen’s uncle seems unable to break the habit.“My retired uncle have been caught thrice for shoplifting in 2 years but since he is an elder, the police decided to just let him go with a warning. On his third time he was arrested, he called my dad to bail him out instead”.And they didn’t show up at all even after my dad called them.

“I went over and gently remind him that there are cameras around and that someone was caught shoplifting a week ago . I also make it clear that he can get anything and I’ll pay, since it a value shop”,While paying, the uncle did not have the bar of soap in his basket, and the netizen had assumed that he put it back.

“But I was surprised when I saw him sneaked the bar of soap into his bag after we walked out of the shop”,“He admitted to ‘accidentally dropped’ it in his pocket which I told him that’s impossible. I reminded him that if he continues, the police will eventually charge him one day, it’ll be his 4th times already”,At a loss of what to do as well, the netizen asked others if there was a way to help his uncle stop shoplifting.
