This is odd - Anthony Worrall Thompson cautioned for shoplifting from Tesco

I know, that's weird isn't it? I suppose cheese is a staple but it can be quite expensive. And I guess it's easy to slip into a bag or pocket.

The Sun reported last year how cheese is the most shoplifted item. Four per cent of all cheese put on store shelves gets stolen."

Where I work there are cameras everywhere! (Large department store). Every till is permanently filmed, and the other cameras 'roam'.

People still nick stuff though

Many years ago (before children when we still went out to pubs!), we used to get guys coming into the pub late of an evening selling cheese!!!

We used to frequent dead classy places you know

cheese - bacon - steaks and chicken are the most nick-able as they are the most re-sellable but then knowing where the most regular thieves shove them when they 'on the rob' i wouldnt be buying them even if it were Kobe steaks

Saw these on Facebook which made me laugh

But yeah, very odd.

Fantastic

Although, to be fair, there must be something odd going on there - he can't have just done it out of pure criminality, surely?

I remember seeing an interview he did on This Morning years ago (think he was doing a book launch?) he had a very abusive childhood. Not that that is a reason for shoplifting just that i guess you never know what people have going on in their heads/issues they are dealing with. Maybe it was just the thrill of it? It wasn't as though he only did it once, maybe he wanted to get caught.

I know (well have known) people who regularly shoplift and it was just pure greed not to pay for (1) magazines and (2) smoked salmon....I'm thinking of 2 sets people I know who've told me the regularly do it. Both sets could afford what they were stealing and were old enough to know better. Both are/were tightwads.

He is now going to film his "recovery" process - the man is obviously desperate to keep his face on TV.
