    It always seems like the security are afraid to tackle the thieves in the shops. Every second visit to a shop in London, I see someone shoplifting and getting away with it.

      There's a common practice in the US of letting shoplifters "get away with it" while compiling detailed records and evidence of their crimes. The idea is to let them keep stealing until their accumulated thefts cross the dollar figure that turns the whole thing into a felony.

      Could a similar thing be happening in the UK?
