Shopping stolen in Starbucks - just a heads-up!

I left my shopping bags in the trolley (alongside two other trolleys already there) in the space near the door in Sainsbury's Starbucks earlier today, and then sat down for coffee on the comfy seats further away. It was a stupid thing to do, and I've been doing it for years, and when I went to leave I discovered the bags had gone.


I thought it might have been taken by mistake at first but there was no other trolley left in its place. I went through the cctv recording with the security man and we did see the bags lifted by a woman who had just walked in from outside, took the bags, and walked out again. She was accompanied by an older woman with a shopping bag on wheels and they left straight away. I had assumed the point of going through the cctv was so we could then see where they went outside but there are no cameras in the car park so it was a bit of a wasted exercise, except for me to know they were deliberately taken.


So, this is just to make you all aware there are thieves in the area (said with a wry smile). Luckily for me, it wasn't my big shop, just a ?35-ish top-up - bad enough.

Why on earth are there no cameras in the car park, particularly as weren't some cars stolen from there a year or so back?


Does anybody know the reason?


Did the security guy report this to the police in case the women were known to them?


Sorry about your shopping Nunheadian :(

If you search a lot of Police Forces issue pictures from

supermarket CCTVs when theft happens.


Can't see any from the Met though (I see CCTV images from

worse crimes),

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
