++++I always ignore alarms that go off when I leave a store (because I
don't shoplift, I'm reasonably confident that it's nothing to do with
me). It doesn't happen that often, obvioulsy, but on one notable
occasion I was pursued down the street by a security guard who
demanded to see inside my bag and to see my receipt (fortunately for
him he had the sense not to touch me, and was reasonably polite).
After the futile search I asked him why he had accosted me, walking
away at a stately pace and looking (up to a point) respectable and
with a store bag, rather than the chap who had run out of the store at
the same time in the opposite direction, with no bag but an unseemly
bulge under his top. Displaying a rare honesty, he said it was because
he didn't think have caught the other bloke...
