Soo.. my boyfriend was recently accused of trying to steal sandals at our local Ron Jons Surf Shop. He has to write a 500 word essay on “Retail theft in your community”. He’s working right now earning us some money, so I figured I would help get him started. I know that obviously when people steal, it causes the company to have to hire more security, ect. But I seriously don’t know how to start this, or what to include. Any ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
The weird thing is, I was there with him and we were still in the shoe department and he had the sandals on his feet. How is that stealing? We never left the store.

For example, i bought a $300 item, I put it away and never used it, I find it 6 months later and dont need it. So I go to the store to exhange it for store credit, knowing that i cant get a refund because it has been so long, they tell me they can no longer use the receipt, which says I payed $300, so they scan the item and it says $200 and they tell me they can only give me $200, even though I payed $300. They say its their policy, and I say well I payed $300, not $200, what do you guys think.

This is also a chain retail store, not just a simple mom and pop shop.
