Story from
MSN.COM
Karen Sizemore had apparently been a mild mannered Lowe's employee for
the past 18 years, but when she saw a shoplifter run out with some
merchandise, her inner Supergirl took over. The Kentucky clerk was at
her register when she saw the man grab a $600 Dewalt tool kit and sprint
out the door. She took off after him and chased him into the parking
lot, attempting to grab the tools out of the backseat of his car. She
couldn’t recover the merch, but she did get his license plate number
which she says helped the police find and arrest him. Her coworkers
started calling her Wonder Woman. Her bosses called her "Fired."
Sizemore says she swiftly lost her job because of her attempt to catch
the thief. "Their explanation was I put myself and other people in
danger and they fired me," she told WLKY-TV. "This is the thanks I get?"
Lowe's released a statement explaining that she had violated company
policy, which isn't enough for Sizemore: she might hire an attorney to
help her get her job back.
Do you suppose the store will fail to agree to press charges for stealing since they don't appear to think the man did anything criminal?
