[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3615165, member: 27284"] I was in the Home Depot on NW HWY, between Rockwell and Council, a couple weeks ago. I was at the cashier station in the Garden Center when I heard a bunch of hollering and excitement. As I turned around a guy pushing an orange Home Depot shopping buggy was pushing that thing hard and fast and going through the fence/gate. The buggy was full of Dewalt brand power tools and I think I saw some others in there too. The cashier was hollering for him to stop. There was another lady, Home Depot employee, just outside the fence/gate watering plants. As the thief ran by here she turned her water hose on him and soaked him pretty good. A couple of male customers took off after the thief, chased him to the getaway car and did get a tag number. Whoever was driving the getaway car dang near ran over some people in the parking lot. If I'd had a second or two warning I'd like to think I'd rammed my shopping buggy into the son of a *****. Same thing happened last year, I was walking into the Academy Sporting Good at NW HWY/63rd St when a young man was outrunning store employees/security. It happened so fast I barely saw it happening, but I could have reached out and touched the thief. As soon as the thief was out the door then the Academy people stopped. They told me it was against store policy to go out the doors after a thief. Same thing, If I'd had a second or two notice I'd have rammed my shopping buggy right into the son of a *****. [/QUOTE]
