I left my shopping bags in the trolley (alongside two other trolleys already there) in the space near the door in Sainsbury's Starbucks earlier today, and then sat down for coffee on the comfy seats further away. It was a stupid thing to do, and I've been doing it for years, and when I went to leave I discovered the bags had gone.


I thought it might have been taken by mistake at first but there was no other trolley left in its place. I went through the cctv recording with the security man and we did see the bags lifted by a woman who had just walked in from outside, took the bags, and walked out again. She was accompanied by an older woman with a shopping bag on wheels and they left straight away. I had assumed the point of going through the cctv was so we could then see where they went outside but there are no cameras in the car park so it was a bit of a wasted exercise, except for me to know they were deliberately taken.


So, this is just to make you all aware there are thieves in the area (said with a wry smile). Luckily for me, it wasn't my big shop, just a ?35-ish top-up - bad enough.

Why on earth are there no cameras in the car park, particularly as weren't some cars stolen from there a year or so back?


Does anybody know the reason?


Did the security guy report this to the police in case the women were known to them?


Sorry about your shopping Nunheadian :(

If you search a lot of Police Forces issue pictures from

supermarket CCTVs when theft happens.


Can't see any from the Met though (I see CCTV images from

worse crimes),

    • Hopefully the Canada Geese were being culled - I'm being serious.  It's permitted
    • You might be interested in watching this video on you tube. It's from a wildlife gardener called Joel Ashton who regularly posts about his work in that area. Being interested in that kind of thing I follow him a lot. Anyway, a few days ago he posted about his plants being deliberately poisoned allegedly by his neighbour. He is going through the process of taking legal action and videoing this journey. There is another follow up which he posted a couple of days ago . It might be helpful to you. I think I should point out that the alleged culprit is not identified on the video so not breaking any privacy laws in sharing this.
