To my shame...
I witnessed a theft this afternoon & didn't report it.
I was in the local chemist idly browsing the shelves while I waited for my prescription.
In walks a workman in his overalls and hands over a prescription to the counter assistant.
With nobody at the counter & myself being the only other person in the shop I saw his hand reach out to the counter display & quickly drop some reading glasses in his overall pocket.
I couldn't quite believe my eyes. I wanted to tell the shop assistant but was afraid of the fuss it would cause.
He calmly collected his item & strolled out of the shop looking so innocent.
I collected mine & walked out of the shop after him.
I should have told the shop keeper, but if I had I wonder what they would have done.
What would you have done?
