How do you feel about this Novel approach to shoplifting?

A Dutch store decided to do something different when faced with their 10,000th shoplifter. They surprised her with flowers, balloons, cake, a marching band, and a sign congratulating her on being the 10,000th shoplifter.

I'm willing to bet it was the most humiliating moment of her life. I suspect she will think twice before shoplifting again. I just love creative approaches to crime. You can watch the video of the event at the following URL:

    LOL. What a great idea. Stores such as Walmart should do this on a regular basis and tape it for the local news channel. Maybe every 10th or 100th so it will be a regular feature on the news.
