Hi, I was a customer at Homedepot when an associate stopped me and searched my bags and told me that she was making sure that I didnt steal anything.

i did not mean to offend you with my answer. i do multiple shoplifting cases eaxh month and the 'big box stores' pay high property taxes in the communities and are victims of rampant shoplifting. the municipal judges and prosecutors pay attention to the big taxpayers who are victims. you would be successful if you could prove a pattern of racial discrimination. however, in Ocean and Monmouth counties, the shoplifters are caucasian. please keep me posted regarding your efforts. ed dimon
