Anyone else see DL security take down a shoplifter on Main Street about 15 mins ago? Talk about once-in-a-lifetime! Who would do that?! DL security are rock stars!

Go get 'em! Thanks security! - BaseballMickey_CM  2996.9 #15 6:26PM
I saw a pursuit down Main Street into the plaza area and security took him down and got him out. It was like an episode of cops! - CxD_CM  518.6 #227 6:27PM

Cool BBM! I love stories! ;) also, your bird cages are still gone :( I wanted to show them to LisaKL :) - MinnieYooHoo  219.3 #1396 6:40PM
I know. They said they take them out when the weather is weird like this (hot/cold/hot/cold...) but I heard we're supposed to get another one to go along with it! - BaseballMickey_CM  2996.9 #15 6:44PM
That's sad. That person paid to get in and all he did was steal? - wantsback2dis  8.2 #7678 7:09PM
Who pays over 100 dollars and comes in Disney to steal? Some people these days - the_wolff  63.1 #3576 7:18PM
People are shamless! No class! Who steals at The Happiest place on earth? Geez!!! - UrsulasTwin  297.2 #641 7:24PM
exactly. Some people just have no sense. - horseytink  289.1 #688 7:27PM
Wonder what they tried to take? - Darlingwendi  682.0 #155 7:27PM
After seeing the one documentary ( I think it was called exit through the gift shop?) I would NEVER mess with Disney security  - smilinbeckett  88.3 #3218 7:30PM
What happens to the thief? Do they get kicked out? Arrested? Banned for life? Last yr for my b day we went to DL and my sisters school went the same day but she went and hung around with us well I noticed everyone from her school had a grip of merchandise well I later found out everything was stolen and I'm thinking how did this happen is security not doing there job? Doesn't DL have under cover? I told my sister those people were pathetic for stealing, she agreed. - LAHaPpY13420  43.0 #3981 7:32PM
They get to pay a giant fine and are banned from disney property for I think 5 years? That was my alcoholic brothers sentence anyway.... - shadowgamer  1960.6 #36 10:09PM
Bottom line is stay in line! - SergZak  3125.8 #14 10:17PM
How do they enforce the ban? They could just pay cash for a ticket wear a hat and get back in. - akpoppins  245.1 #1077 10:18PM
If we see someone do that and run, I'm supposed to bring out my inner linebacker and tackle them! haha just kidding - BaseballMickey_CM  2996.9 #15 10:18PM
Who runs away from Disney security? Like where are you gonna go? - ladylikesdisney  926.7 #96 10:19PM
Yeah minnieyoohoo, I've got a few stories to share as well ;) - lsmarz  51.2 #3788 11:13PM
Picture, name and SS# on file I believe. - shadowgamer  1960.6 #36 11:19PM
Did anyone see what he tried to steal? - carriemlewis  182.8 #1868 11:19PM
Lol - Disneybaldie  313.3 #563 11:24PM
Did you get it on video MinnieYooHoo I need to hang out with you, you have all the fun!!!! - Rob512  755.1 #134 11:27PM
I'm totally surprised that Security would chase someone onstage - not very Disney like - he must have really p/o'd someone! - msdizmaui  521.6 #226 11:34PM
maybe it was a dooney bag! - Madi  204.1 #1615 11:38PM
Sorry for dropping this post & not responding! I've been working on a project! ;) I can't wait for "story time" BBM & lsmarz!!! :D Rob-sorry, no, I walked up on the "aftermath" thief was face-down on the ground in front of the Penny Arcade, DL (Anaheim PD???) dude in black and a couple DL security and a huge crowd started gathering. I first thought the thief had fainted or something but he was suddenly hauled up buy the guy in black with hands behind his back and ppl started clapping, then I overheard a lady tell her kids, "see, that's why you should never steal, because that's what will happen!" I totally LOL'd! Some punk in his late teens/early 20s, IDK what he tried to steal, but he'll never do that @ DL again, DL has swung the ban hammer on that guy! - MinnieYooHoo  219.3 #1396 12:14AM
Sounds fun I might try to steal so I can see the Disneyland Jail this weekend JK Kids stealing is wrong no matter where it is!!!!!! - Rob512  755.1 #134 12:16AM
Me and my family saw a guy being detained over by the mickey and friends trams about a year and half ago. We still don't know what he did - noaddrag  9.6 #7060 12:18AM
This is one of my fascinations being in the field. You rarely see security dealing with a negative. I think there are probably many occassions where theft is overlooked just for the sake of not creating a scene or having foot pursuits of knuckleheads through the park. Either that or the secret monkeys and gorillas that live in Walt's tunnels jump out and snatch up the offenders pulling them down and out of the parks. The ban records name, photo, and date of birth. Yes the offender could come back with another ticket but if they are contacted for a negative or recognized in violation, they are both arrested for trespass and their is a significant civil penalty of a heavy fine. It seems to pose as enough of a deterrent to keep people away if they are banned. The duration of the ban is typically lifetime at stores and retail establishments but Disney could set their own standard. - unclebeezy  230.0 #1270 12:28AM
I would think the last place to try to steal is at Disney! Although I could see how knuckleheads could get away from it at The Emporium. So busy! @smilinbeckett I would have loved to see Banksy install his art piece by Thunder Mountain! Did anyone see that documentary? It's really good! - Sbubbles  159.2 #2201 1:48AM
Why is it whenever I hear knuckleheads all I can think about is the way Charles Barkley says it. LoL - lornejr  20.3 #5123 2:21AM
That's just "Turrible" - unclebeezy  230.0 #1270 2:25AM
Lol @unclebleezy too funny - lornejr  20.3 #5123 3:42AM
Oops I meant unclebeezy lol - lornejr  20.3 #5123 3:42AM
I was called a knucklehead once. - HotDiggityDogDaddy  1112.4 #73 3:46AM
In Exit Through the Gift Shop, they took him to Disney jail and interrogated him. He "deleted" his evidence and they couldn't hold him on anything. So they released him after four hours. The piece was in place for anout an hour before they caught on. I was thinking he used tapes but now that i think about it, you can't just delete a tape, you just record over it. So he slipped the memory chip in his sock but they didn't search him so he got away with it. I would have filmed in the jail while i was at it. haha. - craziemutant  109.6 #2957 4:12AM
Is it bad that I would love to see this? Sorry. I'm such a people watcher. I know I'm a bad person.  - Queenof2princesses  254.7 #990 6:01AM
I have an old friend who's been working DCA security for 20+ years. Kudos to all DLR security for the outstanding job they do. - SergZak  3125.8 #14 6:24AM
Crazie mutant? Did I miss something? What is Exit through the gift shop? - unclebeezy  230.0 #1270 7:15AM
Awesome!!! - jamesLA  76.6 #3377 8:11AM
Wow that is crazy!!! I've never seen anyone get caught for stealing. The only time I've ever seen security in action is during fireworks, fantastic, and parade. Huge men getting in fights over viewing areas. - MissErikaRae_CM  285.5 #713 9:23AM
@Mommy2a princess, come on a ride along or go with your local police, you'll get to do plenty of similar people watching. - unclebeezy  230.0 #1270 9:31AM
I was at the mall once, and a guy pulled out a shotgun, and security tackled him in like, two seconds. It was scary and awesome at the same time. - MagicalCaprice  480.6 #252 9:34AM
How lame, go DL Security! - Knik  449.4 #279 9:35AM
It would be awesome if it showed up on YouTube. Also, I had no idea that DLSecurity had a K9unit, but we saw them as we were coming onto main street. - MontanaMouse  300.0 #628 10:24AM
