Review - The Big Shoplift 3-11-54
There had been a string of items taken from Wilshire Blvd. merchants and Friday, Smith are running down leads after meeting with one store president. That president is suspicious of his employee for being in the same department as the stolen articles. The employee has enough of his accusing, leaves for another store, is questioned by Friday, Smith, only to say the only thing she ever carried out of the store was a paycheck, nothing more. Don't think for one minute it might have been one of your customers, mister president. Evidently security in his building was only to look for employee theft. The kleptomaniac couldn't have been that good at stealing.
Chasing down leads gives way to a tip when a girl spots a woman tossing a package away in the open, broad daylight, empty lot where anyone could see. The woman is identified as a neighbor of a girlfriend and finally gives way to Sgt. Friday's grilling. She gets down to HQ and talks about her history since junior high.
Some rap, one to ten for grand theft; ouch. You do the crime, you do the time. Mediocre with comparative shows, but there has to be a cop involved in everything illegal.
