Of course you judged, Mark47n, both the kid and Cabe. I’d even call your post a rant. Your broad statements about modern day parenting based on your own experience are completely irrelevant. That kind of reasoning is why Brett Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court. All the old men simply remembered their own similar “youthful indiscretions” and gave him a pass. You’re doing the same thing by assuming that Cabe’s son was “doing something that brought a watchful eye onto him” just because you could remember acting “belligerent” when you were his age. Maybe the security guard was overly aggressive. Or maybe he was completely right and reasonable. Either way, I guaranty it had nothing to do with how you acted as teenager.

[mark47n]

I have to ask blbl, did you actually laugh out loud when you read what I wrote or are you using it as a barb? My guess is that it’s the latter.

We make judgments about all sorts of things all the time based on experience and available data. Teenagers do incredibly stupid things as a matter of routine. I have two children, one of whom is a teen and the other who’s 21 and they both do ridiculously stupid things from time to time.
I didn’t judge the kid, either. I made broad statements about modern day parenting and about teenagers in general and used the presented situation as a backdrop for it, everything from parental rage to inaccurate statements regarding the elements of shoplifting.

Oh, I used myself as an example, not as the measuring stick. I didn’t make it about me, you did.

Is it possible that the kid was unjustly accused? Sure.Did anything actually come of it? No. Could something more have come of it? you bet!

@Newnative; my response stands other than my misunderstanding as to whether or not the OP was present. Just because the OP was present doesn’t mean that the OP actually knows what the kid is doing unless they have their eyes on them the whole time. I reference back to my misspent youth.

Profiling is not illegal, especially in commercial retail establishments, and there is a reason that it happens, especially to teenagers.

Hi, looking for a piano teacher that is good with kids to either come to our house or we can go to theirs (if not too far, we’re in Admiral) for 1/2 hour lesson for two kids each per week type of arrangement. We’ve looked and some are either far away or very expensive.

I remember when I was a kid (not too long ago!) there were plenty of folks looking for fun money or spending money (spouse worked).

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[newnative]

Cabe stated that they were there, with the teen. Why would you read their story and then accuse the person of not knowing what really happened? I often go into the store without a basket and pick stuff up, in the hopes of not impulse shopping. Some people put unpurchased items in their bags on the way to the check out. Some of us aren’t profiled, some are.

[mark47n]

Theft can and does occur within the store prior to the thief exiting the store, it’s all about intent. You do not have to be outside the store to be collared for shoplifting.

If you weren’t there you don’t really know what happened and if the security guard saw something that he thought was suspicious then it could’ve been much, much worse than being told to use a basket.

Being 16 doesn’t make you a part of a vulnerable population.

It’s possible that the security guards training will consist of hauling suspected shoplifters into the office and possibly trespassing them from the store rather than handing the suspected thief a basket and tell them that stealing is wrong.

I’m so sick of parents faux outrage when it comes to their children. They’re all perfect little angels, they’re all squeaky clean and us mean old grownups are just bullying their darling little babies. Nope, teenage boys are suspicious and often up to trouble. I know that personally, I was one for several years. I was followed through stores, I looked suspicious because I had long hair, wore boots, sunglasses and a trench coat. I was belligerent, I weighed consequence and more (this really isn’t the place for a detailed inventory of youthful indiscretions). I was sneaky. I did act suspiciously. When I did get caught my parents had a problem with me, not the police or a store owner. Me. The assumption was that the other grownups have better things to do with their time than wrestle with me and handed that off to the parents.

The moral of this story, Cabe, is that you have but one side of the story, your son’s, and it may be…slanted. It’s not the security guards fault, or the store managers, that your son was doing something that brought a watchful eye onto him.

Oh, here’s why teens are considered suspicious: According to the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention (NASP), $13 billion is stolen each year – about $35 million a day. The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) adds that around 25 percent of those apprehended for the crime are ages 13 to 17. Many teens don’t even perceive it as a big deal.

I have lived in two different places in High Point (townhouse and now single family) for the last 6-7 years. I’m a few blocks from where you are looking but we don’t have many complaints. I’m sure you will see comment here about crime or gangs but we’ve never had any issues. We’ve never had a package stolen, car break in or any confrontations and I walk to/from the bus daily. We walk the neighborhood and use the park near 31st/Raymond often for our daughter. Since we’ve lived on two different blocks it can vary depending on where you are. The first block we met our neighbors but nothing more than waiving hello. Our new block is much more conversational. There is a lot of turnover in the neighborhood as houses will always be for sale. It’s very walkable and I like having a buzz in the neighborhood during the summer months especially. A con could be that the homes are clearly very close together so one bad neighbor is a problem for everyone. We haven’t seen much of this but occasional noise issues at our townhouse.

It’s a doable walk to Morgan Junction and easy walk to the bus at 35th/Morgan but until the Upton Flats is finished we won’t have much for an easy walk. Crossing our fingers on a food place or at least coffee there. I ride the bus daily and don’t have many issues there.

was at QFC in Westwood Saturday when one of the contracted security guards approached my son and said something to the effect of “you can’t steal that… you have to pay for it… here’s a basket, use this”.

it was a bit hard on my son as he then felt like he was being watched and was anxious. i do admit that he was dressed fairly shabilly, with a hoodie to hide is bed hair (he is a young 16 and doesn’t quite understand why it’s not a good idea to wear a hoodie over your head in a store) but still, it’s the QFC policy to not harass their customers like this. you have to be outside the store before they are allowed to accuse you of stealing. the fact that the security person crossed the line with a lone kid (e.g., a vulnerable population) is a warning sign that authority may be an issue for this security staff – and it’s why i brought it up with the management at the store (who were very understanding).

i was told that the the guard is going to get some additional training by their company.

yet, it is just another case of corporations paying folk to oppress other folk.

There’s always so many problems with the W.S mail, at least in the Alaska junction area. We never mail anything important from the mailbox and I have to pay extra to get things delivered by UPS or FedEx, but it’s worth it to know I’m going to receive it. I’m constantly getting other people’s mail, I’ve called to complain but it still happens. I’ve even put ‘please deliver to correct address’ for the mail person to pick up and they literally put the new mail on top of it, not taking it. Worse ever.

[WSB]

Sorry to hear about your theft.

If you don’t report it, you have 100 percent chance of no action. If you report it, you have a better chance. Just yesterday, I heard a dispatch on a reported propane-tank theft.

Also: Regarding the overgrown neighbor, you can file a complaint, and those ARE investigated/enforced/cited if public property (sidewalks, streets, etc.) is being encraoched on.

Good luck.

I’m looking for a piece of either scrap carpeting or carpet padding (preferable), roughly 2×6′, to pad a jig I’m building in order to safely remove and repair a leaded glass window from an antique door that I’m restoring.

I’m in a well lit building. The problem is more there’s nobody at the post office “sweating the details.” Had 2 bill’s recently that I’d mailed checks too(via the post office). Got late notices on both. Checks didn’t show up for 12 business day’s!! Didn’t get dinged on either as the businesses said mail delivery is a constant problem. Never was as bad as this in past years.

[New mail carrier]

People on leave this time of year, as well as out for sick calls; it might be a sub on the route.

If your box is hard to find or tricky to get to, a carrier that is unfamiliar with the route may have been delivering that route and missed the box or skipped for safety reasons. A box that is easily seen in daylight can be missed in the dark. (You’d be surprised at how many people mount their house numbers ABOVE their porch light, where it’s not illuminated.)

I’m posting this to help keep our neighborhood informed. We live a couple doors down for the Riverview Play Field that has numerous homeless RV’s and vans camped out over time. I have repeatedly reported this on the Find It Fix It app which is ironic because the city does nothing to Fix It. All my neighbors have been robbed and the common item stolen were propane tanks. As of last night our propane tanks and iPad were stolen out of the garage that was open briefly for a couple minutes to bring out the garbage and the driveway/garage are a rear load off the alley. I’d report it to the police but why bother, they clearly will not do anything. The other problem is that homeowners neglect their properties and let everything get over grown and no lighting and the city does nothing to enforce homeowner’s to maintain anything. If people had some sort of pride of ownership and we’re good neighbors by maintaining their properties this would help keep our neighborhood safe. I’m so disgusted that our city has enabled such a problem that us taxpayers pay the price with no concern. Homeowners need to maintain their properties and this includes alley ways, this city is filthy and very expensive and what does it offer for such a high price? I know our taxes have more than doubled over the past few years but neglect and crime are on the rise. We love West Seattle and thought living next to a park would be great, sadly I was mistaken and the city and police have made it clear that it’s everyone for themselves. We look forward to selling and moving one day soon as I was raised to be respectful to your neighbors and do the best you can to take care of what we work so hard for, but clearly not a shared belief.

Cheers to PeelandPress for encouraging another chef!

[peelandpressws]

Hi Chef, I opened a Pizza and Pasta place over 4 years ago with a lot of predictions of failure and it will never work. Well we are still rocking and growing. We even won Emerging Business of The Year two years ago from the WSCC. Pizza has so many wonderful styles and honestly Chicago Style is about the only one not represented in WS. If you have a passion, plan and can find the right real estate I say go for it. From the time I opened I believe 3 more places have opened and are all doing well. People might want more diversity and I get that but people seem to eat a lot of pizza because not a lot of shops are closing. Good luck in whatever you decide to do!!!
