What do you do with a thief who steals from a comic shop?
lock him up with only a copy of marville
>>82656013
It's $100 in merchandise, penny-change; he can always just come back and pay for it if it's so great.
Fuck, no-one's entitled to a profit.
I used to steal manga and Japanese Transformers from an import/gaming shop
In my fairness, I was a teenager and the shopkeeps used to be in the backroom playing video games all day, not even knowimg if people came into the store or not
It took them like over a year to wise up amd finally learn it was me

It's not like this is Gamestop or something. This isn't a nation-wide chain. Comic stores are already hard to come by, and this isnt helping at all

When's the last time you've come across a comic book store with more than one quality item - more than one thing worth buying for a fan of anything?
Maybe they're being worked out of existence for a reason, man.
>>82656236
It's not their fault that people can't write good comics anymore. Blame SJWs.
one time i unintentionally stole a trade from my LCSon FCBD last year, i had my stack of free books, and i was going to buy a used trade, so i put it in my pile as i was walking around and i also took a book off of the walli start talking with some buddies i ran into from high school and talk about whatever and then go to check out. the guy at the counter rings up my issue i had off the wall and sees my stack of free books and rings me up. i noticed the price was cheaper, but i assumed they had a deal going on in addition to the free bookswhen i get home and open my bag,i see that i had the trade in my bag and wheni see my receipt, he only rung me up for the issue on the walli honestly intended to buy it, it was around $5, but it was the employee's fault. you ALWAYS sort through the books people lay on the counter as they are checking out
yeah, OP's guy is a grade A nigger though. using your kid to help aid you in your crime? thats just shameful
>>82656318
I love blaming every problem on the SJWs, it makes me feel like there's a villain and I'm on the hero side
>>82656236
All the time, actually. There are 5 shops in my area and they each have some good stuff.
>>82656013
>POS who is up for father of the year
Jesus Christ it's just some merch, the guy isn't raping his kid.
He's a thief, call him a thief, personal attacks beyond that are unnecessary and make you seem unprofessional.
>>82656413
He is exploiting his kid and using it to steal
What do you not understand?
>>82656413
>He's a thief, call him a thief,
I think the idea is he's conditioning the kid to think theft like that is fine. Whether or not he's doing it for the kid we don't know and it doesn't matter, he's setting a shit example as a parent.
Also I'm not sure what sort of professionalism is expected of someone after being robbed. I wasn't aware there was protocol to be followed, a list of words that can and can't be used.
>>82656079
Actual poor people go to jail for stealing less.
>>82656174
So, let me get this straight: you waste your time posting dumb statements on an anonymous image board and consider people responding to it a victory of some kind?
>>82656013
>>82656438
What do you not?
Lots of people do way worse than that to their kids.
Get your shitty waifu back to /tv/.
>>82656442
>Also I'm not sure what sort of professionalism is expected of someone after being robbed. I wasn't aware there was protocol to be followed, a list of words that can and can't be used.
There are always words you shouldn't use on social media when you represent a business, "piece of shit" is one of them.
It's not a spurr of the moment thing, you're supposed to think before postng on social media.

You're a criminal, and probably still a delinquent.
>>82656512
How hard are you trying to win an argument on an anonymous imageboard?
Because I literally never implied that he wasn't doing anything bad. "Father of the year" implies that guy is spectacularly bad at being a father and really, he's just kind of entry-level bad father.

my black friend used to steal comics from Barnes and Nobles for me like all the time if I drove him to the mall so he could steal clothes for himself and his family
>>82656644
It didn't occur to him to steal a car and cut out the middleman?
>gas
Steal that too. In for a penny n' shit.
>>82656336
I had a similar situation one time with my LCS. They managed to scoop a trade set aside for someone else and put it in my bag with my pulls without charging me for it. I took it back when I had the chance, and they gave me a free comic as thanks. Yes, they could have been more careful, but you're a thieving nigger too.
A friend said one time someone came into their busy store and ran off with like $300 worth of books a few months ago.
During this recent FCBD, some guy asked if the wooden stands they had the free comics on display against were also free. He didn't have a comeback for such a stupid question and just flatly told him they were not.
>>82656037
I'm for punishing people, but some shit is worse than waterboarding. We have the Geneva Comic Conventions for a reason.

People with no actual point to make like resorting to extreme comparisons to completely excuse the lesser crime. Why, thief dad is practically a saint.
>>82656760
You know how this works, nigger; a name-fag said it, so it's no longer counted as a contribution to the thread. Try again.
>>82656462
Got to keep those t levels up somehow, man.
>>82656797
Don't go up on me like that, fucko'; you're probably pirating something right now!

>>82656013
Ask him the full title of his favorite run and kick him in the gut for every letter on the cover.
>>82656549
Whats fair about it? A. Kids do mean things and B. If you can't care enough to look after your own wares you deserve to have it stolen
I would literally walk in and expect an employee to come out for service, but nothing, I'd just take things and walk right out the door
If it was that easy to steal from my house I'd deserve it
>>82656700
American law states if something you didnt pay for is given to you it counts as a gift.
This is to prevent stores from giving/sending you things the forcing you to pay.
>>82656013

>>82656091
>>82656013
oh man me and my friends would steal dozens of manga's from Barnes and Nobles daily in high school. Shit was so easy it was such a huge store and all we had to do was peel off a sticker and put the comic in our bag. god i miss those days.
>>82656949
It's not a matter of law. It's the principle. You benefited off of someone else's mistake.
It may be "legal", but it's not right.
So 1), you are a thief, and 2) to justify one wrong act, you try to twist a very specific law to cover your misdeed.
You're a self-entitled, immature piece of shit.
Stealing on FCBD? Why that's almost like getting something for free!
This is free. And that is free. And I like that, good thing it's free. Oh look, some more freeness.
I suggest standard community service equal to the local law covering the retail worth of the goods stolen. Also, "dumbass" goes on his criminal record.
>>82656091
I almost agree. Man the counter means man the damn counter! Did they even have a little bell?
>>82657040
That's like saying it's theft if someone gives you the wrong order.
>>82656079
>it's ok to steal in moderation guys WHO CARE OK I AM SPECIAL

Just respond to a person's post normaly and then call them a gigantic fucking faggot for namefagging.
>>82656644
Nice dubs
>>82657040
It's actually literally is a mater of law. You are legally entitled to things that are given to you, even if the giver decides to change his mind or wasn't paying attention. It is not theft if something is given to you.
This is not an argument. It is a legal fact. If you run a store and this makes you butthurt, realize that if you choose to run a business in America you don't get to pick and choose what laws you follow.
>>82657053
Not at all, and that's a shit example.
If you get a wrong order, USUALLY you tell the staff, and they fix it for you.
Look stop trying to justify what you did.
You know it's wrong, otherwise you wouldn't make excuses and try to argue that "it's OK". If i wanted to bother with it, and keep this stupid debate going, you'd keep on justifying and excusing to the very end, grasping at straws, trying to cast the spotlight off of yourself on to someone or something else. But I don't have the desire to. You'll keep thinking you're right, and won't consider otherwise, and I'll continue to think (rightly so) that you're a piece of shit. So I'll save the trouble and say good day.

>>82656858
Well i mean say whatever you want about the sandpeople, handcutting for crime is kinda smart.
Everyone knows youre a theif and its harder for you to steal because if you get caught then no hands.
>>82656906
>not stopping the crime means deserving the crime.
My wife shouldn't get raped because she wasn't in a chastity belt and 3 layers of clothing. My car shouldn't be stolen for shatterable glass. My test shouldn't be cheated off of because I'm not hunched over.
They were shit at business but that doesn't mean they deserve to lose shit. You do the crime, you do the crime. Stealing is stealing.
>>82656353

It's really not. Do you know who the richest people in the world are? Thieves, white collar criminals.
You're a fucking idiot if you don't steal when it is advanageous to you or think the system means anything.
Jesus Christ, I once took a complimentary postcard from a hotel once and felt bad because I couldn't remember if it was in fact free or not (it was but it would have cost 25 cents or so if it had not be).
>>82656845
I consider pirating more along the line of cheating than stealing.

Enlighten us.
...He probably just thought all the comics in the store were free. I know I did on my first one.
Not like, hardcover shit of course. But I thought it meant we could get like a limited number of the stock they usually keep in boxes and what not.
They should think about doing it because it's not like anyone buys that shit anyways.
Why steal comics from a store when you can just download them?
>>82657135
But he's not talking about what legal or not, he's talking about whats moral.
And morally, if you choose to punish a store thats probably barely breaking even because of a honest mistake, your a bit of a cunt, brah.
>>82656013
Thieving scum. Now if you'll excuse me in off to the win o thread to download all this week's comics for free

If I plan on stealing something I always check the positions of the cameras beforehand, then come back later.
That said I don't steal anymore.
more relevant to the discussion, I would make the dude pay for all the stuff he stole plus some. The "some" he'd need to pay, I don't know how much it should be.
Maybe a few wacks to the clavicle or the shins.

if only there were some kind of force to police the citizens, then this inept vigilante behavior wouldn't be necessary

>>82660534
>You damn well better not have read a storytime on this board.
Or what, anon.
A comic store? Nothing, those guys are usualy assholes who mark everything up hugely and fuck over anyone they can to make a buck. Guy where I live cleans out every store within 100km of any magic the gathering related stuff so he can mark up.
I like the one guy in this thread advocating for stealing comic books on free comic book day at a local shop.
Nice to know there's some fags still out there.
Kind of sucks, they'll probably eventually find the guy. At worst he'll probably have to pay back the merch or return it or something. Shoplifting is a baby dick demeanor
>>82660988
That would be amusing if it wasn't for the fact a con is short for confidence trick. So unless we're talking about the confidence needed to try to be a good thief that doesn't quite fit.
>>82656013
>But...But...we stole a comic

>>82657433
>Do you know who the richest people in the world are? Thieves, white collar criminals.
I'm sure running out of a convenience store at 11 at night with pockets full of lip balm has made you a pretty penny but if you honestly think the richest people in the world are white collar criminals than you have been watching way too many Oceans movies.
The richest people in the world are the people who know how to make bank on good to decent ideas and know how to market to people with more money than brains. I have a drawer in my kitchen with paper towels in it and yet whoever thought up the Sham-wow can now retire on the money morons threw at him.
White collar criminals are people too stupid to steal enough to become rich off stealing and the people that do steal enough to make themselves rich, rarely make it a year before consequences catch up to them. They are either turned in by accomplices or gunned down by someone who knows they can't go to the police or a bank to protect themselves or their money.

Bullshit, sell something with actual value that can't be downloaded. He's just a prick, no need to make a sob story to cover his ass
>well if you download comics you're just as bad!
Downloading a conuc doesn't directly prevent a sale from happening, nor does it remove the supply from a business. These guys don't get the money for the comic, but they also don't have the comic to sell. It directly hurts a small business, piracy indirectly wounds a large business.
>>82656037
Pretty sure exposure to Bill Jemas' comics goes against the Geneva conventions.
>>82664493
Do a little research on bankers. The fact that you don't know that these people steal or who they are is why they continue to get away with it.
I'm not going to spend an hour explaining it to an anonymous person who doesn't likely care, so don't ask. But if you really are interested in how rich people steal instead of living in a fantasy world, so your own research.

Back in my pick-pocketer days I used to buy some single issues, Batman or whatever and slip in there anywhere from 3 to 5 extra singles every time.
Also with the help of a lady friend stole both Absolute Sandman Volumes 1 & 2.
I stopped buying comics and pick pocketing shortly there after, but I still keep all of those of course. I spent an ungodly amount of money in comics, so I really didn't give one shit.
