A 7-Eleven store owner was working in the back office when an employee alerted him to a possible shoplifter.
Via the store’s security cameras, Jitendra Singh watched as a teen slyly pocketed items such as gum and candy.
By the time Singh went into the main store area, the shoplifter was at the counter paying for a few items.
“I asked him, ‘Take out whatever you have in your pocket,’ so he took out one of the items,” Singh told CNN.
But Singh knew the teen had taken more. He told the boy to empty the rest of his pockets or he’d have to call the cops.
When the store owner asked why he was stealing the merchandise, the teen said it was because he and his younger brother were hungry.
At this point, an employee had a 911 operator on the phone – but Singh told him to hang up.
“I said, ‘Well that’s not food. You’re stealing gum and candies. That’s just something for munching,’” Singh said. “I said, ‘If you’re hungry, ask me. I’ll give you food.’”
Singh, who has owned the 7-Eleven in Toledo, Ohio, for five years, said his store offers pizza, chicken wings, taquitos, nachos and sandwiches – all of which make for a much better meal.
The store owner decided not to report the boy to the police. Instead, Singh gave him some real food and sent him on his way Saturday night.
“When he said, ‘I’m hungry and that’s why I’m stealing,’ I said OK, he has some genuine problem. He’s not a thief who’s going and stealing stuff and selling it,” Singh said.
He didn’t want the boy’s life to be ruined for trying to feed himself and his family.
“At least (he) won’t go to jail,” Singh said. “Once you go to jail, you’ll have a criminal record later in life. You’re not going to be able to get any good job or anything.”
A customer who witnessed the incident posted about it on Facebook . The post has resonated with thousands of people, garnering more than 1,600 shares and 3,700 likes.
Singh said he didn’t expect his good deed to impact so many people.
“Customers are now coming back and saying, ‘You’re a good guy and you did a good thing,’” Singh said. “For me, it was not a big deal. … I did what any normal human being would’ve done in that situation.”

Retail security industry experts generally agree that about one-third of the shoplifting, here in the United States, can be attributed to minors. There is no true industry figure, taking into account that much of the teenage and preteen shoplifting largely goes unreported. When a preteen or young juvenile is involved the retailer may be inclined not to call the parents (in the case of a parent’s absence) or the police. In many jurisdictions, the police resources are stretched to their limits and responding to a juvenile shoplifting incident is a very low priority. In many cases, the retailer’s policy is designed to take the police out of the picture so as not to tie up their own resources. Therefore, the retailer may decide to recover their merchandise and release the juvenile on their own. Without referring the minor to the police, the retailer’s options are to call the parents or scold and release the youthful offender. When the minor is admonished and released on their own, without parental interaction, this actually does a disservice to our youth and the parent.
When the retailer scolds and releases the minor, what lesson have they learned? Consider that most adult offenders did not start shoplifting as an adult, but started stealing at a young age and may have never been caught. Although there are exceptions to this.
As for myself, at about age 8, my mother sent me to the corner store to buy some milk. When in the store I decided to steal a candy bar at the register counter and the storeowner caught me in the act. The owner gave me a very stern warning and told me never do it again. He never called my parents, to my knowledge , and that one incident cured me. Now my personal experience fly’s in the face of what I have written here, but consider that was a long time ago and times were different then. Back then, the neighbors watched out for you and carried much of the same authority as your parents did. As I said, times are different now.
During my retail loss prevention career I remember many times when I called a parent because I caught their son or daughter shoplifting and I was met with indifference and told to just release and “have them come home.” Parents need to set an example and teach their children to respect the property of others. Once, when my wife and I along with our 7-year-old son were shopping at the grocery store and discovered, upon our return home, that our son had removed a shelf price tag and brought it home with him. You can imagine the discussion my wife and I had with him and to boot we drove him back to the grocery store so he could return the tag to the store manager who, in turn, gave him a good talking and thanked him for bringing the tag back to the store. The store manager understood what my goal
