Consumer News and Links for Jan. 31st (Late Edition)
From the Du-ju-ana Shoplift For Mommy? department:
A Middletown, Ohio woman, Dujuana Horton, was caught teaching her two teen children how to shoplift from Wal-Mart. She urged her 13-year old daughter to stuff DVDs into her purse, then took her into the washroom to give her a lesson on how to remove the security strips. She has been charged with theft and contributing to the delinquincy of a minor. I sure hope these kids aren't home-schooled. (WCPO)
From the Check Yourself! department:
In another thrilling Wal-Mart delinquency story, Wendy Michelle Austin of Alabama was arrested for writing bad checks to the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Demopolis, AL. This marks the sixth shoplifting arrest made since thecrooks company opened their store on Jan. 23rd. (The Demopolis Times)
From the Babysitter's Club department:
Juanita Rodriguez, 39, of Taunton, MA left her five-year old son home alone with a convicted child molester while she was busy shoplifting from a local department store. Juanita was arrested, as was Raul M. Ruiz, 50, who is listed as a Level 3 sex offender (that sounds like some kind of twisted version of Dungeons & Dragons). There's negligence and then there's complete stupidity! Juanita should have taken her five-year old son with her and taught him how to shoplift. That would have been easier to forgive. (The Enterprise)
From the We Don't Sell Wheelchairs department:
A top shopping mall owner in Australia has paid $38,000 to the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Australia for taking mall wheelchairs away from two brothers who were trying to get backto their car. One brother crawled back while the other had to be carried by his sister. That's one security guard you don't want to piss off! (Brockton News)

Thank you Walmart for finally catching her. They were MY checks, and before you finally realized that she was a fraud, you let her cash two other checks in your stores amounting to $3100 and $2200. No one even looked at her I.D. - she wrote my driver's license number on the check herself. Who accepts a $3100 check without calling the bank. Luckily, my account was closed, but its still a lot of trouble and it goes on my credit.
I'm glad they finally caught the woman and I'm sorry you had to go through that. I work in a bookstore and I even ask to see police officers' I.D. when they write a check. Those sales usually total no more than $20 too!
As for who accepts a $3100 check without calling the bank... well, I'm just making a guess, but I think that is what happens when you hire slightly warm bodies at the bare minimum wage to work in your store. You show me a Wal-Mart cashier who has even the slightest bit of passion for their job and I'll show you someone whose relatives work for the corporate office.
