Anyone remember a few months ago when the guy was busted stealing trees from the Lucky Moose?
The story was that he was boosting trees from outside the store, the store owner pursues him (after having seen him do this same crime several times before via security camera), catches him, ties him up and waits for the police to arrive.
Shopkeeper may have used a bit of force to subdue the thief (force plus one, standard protocol in dealing with a citizen's arrest), and was then charged with kidnapping and assault.
Now its come out that the thief's sentence has been reduced in exchange for testifying against the store owner.

I used to run HR for a security company that focused a great deal on loss prevention and thus know a great deal of current and former LPs. Personally, I think the store owner should get a medal and be allowed to run a course on how to deal with thieves.
