June 22, 201412 yr Women shoplifters outnumber male shoplifters by about 4 to 1. This doesn't really surprise me. I think women are more likely to get away with it, for a variety of factors. Having "curves", I would think, really helps. Plus, with today's society, I would think managers/staff/security that are male, are really, really, really hesitant to do a lot of patting down of a woman, without being extremely sure they have something on their person. And top all of that off with the fact women carry purses? Please. No contest in my mind.
June 22, 201412 yr The first meetings that established the National League were held in Louisville in January, 1876. The Louisville Grays were a charter team but were expelled from the league after 2 seasons because of a gambling scandal.
June 22, 201412 yr Women shoplifters outnumber male shoplifters by about 4 to 1. I'm not sure if it's even that close. Women shoplifters fight more, cuss more and and steal more stupid stuff then men.
June 22, 201412 yr Over 50% of stolen checks and credit cards used at Walmart will have lingerie in the purchase. They might buy a TV, $100 worth of steaks, movies or whatever else and at least half of the time thongs and lacy bras will be somewhere on the receipt.
June 22, 201412 yr I'm not sure if it's even that close. Women shoplifters fight more, cuss more and and steal more stupid stuff then men. From my observations in my long time in the retail world, male shoplifters are isolated to the middle school age to about 25 at the most. Women, on the other hand, shoplift at all ages.

Women, on the other hand, shoplift at all ages. Pretty close to dead on Jim...the older males that shop lift hit you for $100's or $1000s at a time. You know how when ever police pull someone over on COPS and ask how many have you had to drink it's always "2 beers"...well 90% of women need to hurry up and leave to "Pick their kids up" I had one woman that hit a store 5 times stealing flat screens, she'd just take the display and wait until greeter was busy and just walk out. She even stuck her tongue out at the camera in the door frame as she left...most fun I ever had was catching her, she had over $1700 worth of stuff in her cart when we caught her and she fought like a bear.
July 2, 201412 yr In the United States, there are: 30 counties and 1 parish named after President George Washington. 25 counties and 1 parish named after President Thomas Jefferson. 24 counties and 1 parish named after Benjamin Franklin. 23 counties and 1 parish named after President Abraham Lincoln. 23 counties and 1 parish named after President Andrew Jackson. 19 counties and 1 parish named after President James Madison. 17 counties and 1 parish named for General Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette. There are 18 Montgomery Counties in the US, but only 15 are named after Richard Montgomery. Montgomery County, Tennessee is named after John Montgomery, and both Montgomery County, Texas and Montgomery County, Arkansas are named for Lemuel P. Montgomery. There are 18 Clay Counties in the US, but only 15 are named after Henry Clay. Clay County, Iowa is named after his son, Henry Clay, Jr., Clay County, Arkansas is named after John M. Clayton, and Clay County, Kentucky (Henry Clay's home state) is named after Henry Clay's cousin, Green Clay. I find it particularly interesting that Lafayette was the only in the bunch never to identify as an American.

July 2, 201412 yr :no: can't count Lincoln County Kentucky Lincoln Co KY born...1780 Lincoln President born...1809 Your right. Flawed data there. It's named after Benjamin Lincoln - a Major General in the Continental Army. So are Lincoln County, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee as well. Lincoln County, Maine is named after Lincoln, England, and Lincoln County, South Dakota is named after Lincoln County, Maine. Looks like Honest Abe gets knocked down to 16 counties and 1 parish.
July 2, 201412 yr Hyden Ky was the location for Richard Nixon's first public event after resigning from the Presidency. Rec Center is named for him in Hyden now.

July 3, 201412 yr Bingo. My buddy has a photo of his great-grandfather and about 6 others - including Hitler - sitting around a barrel having drinks and playing dice during the war. I thought Hitler was a Teetotaler? Did his Great Grandfather ever talk about what Hilter was like back then, before coming to power?
July 3, 201412 yr I thought Hitler was a Teetotaler? Did his Great Grandfather ever talk about what Hilter was like back then, before coming to power? Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't know that the drinks were necessarily alcoholic or that there was necessarily a drink for each person in the picture, so Hitler may well have not been drinking. It's been a few years since I've seen the picture actually. I asked my buddy's dad if his grandpa ever talked about Hitler, and he said the only thing he ever remembers him saying was that while he knew him, he was pretty quiet and was a "rule follower".
