When we were at Epcot the other day my husband saw a man come in and shoplift 2 of those t-shirts that are wrapped up tight in plastic in the shape of Mickey ears. It was during Illuminations so everyone was preoccupied and the guy ran in, threw 2 of the shirts in his bag and ran out. My husband was so shocked by it he just stood there dumbfounded for a minute and then told me what he saw. I was like, "um hello, why didn't you say something to the cashier!" He said by the time he realized what was going on the guy was long gone. But it continued to bother my husband for the rest of the night and he kept looking for the guy in all the different gift shops because he wanted to rat him out. He never did see him again.



Anyway, I was just wondering what kind of security they have in the gift shops. Do they have anyone watching TV monitors in a back room somewhere or something? Had my husband told the cashier what he saw would they have ever caught the guy? I was just curious. It seemed like it was really easy for the guy to get away with it.



Ironically, as we were walking out of the store talking about the guy shoplifting we looked down and realized that our toddler had taken a stuffed animal off the shelf when we weren't paying attention and he was playing with it in the stroller! So we quickly ran back into the store and put it back on the shelf. But that just confirmed to me that security isn't very tight in those shops.
