It happens. My grandmother had a blouse she was looking at and put it on her arm. She saw a friend in the store and started talking to her for a few minutes and then forgot what she was doing and walked out the store with the blouse still on her arm (she was in her 80's at the time). She then realized she walked out with the blouse and then walked back to the store to return the blouse, but the store's rent-a-cops had determined she must have been a hardened criminal and had her arrested. The case was dismissed as security cameras outside the store showed her walking back to the store.
Obviously, Randle is not a 80-year old person with bad memory. But, it goes to show how some rent-a-cops and stores are a bit overzealous when it comes to shoplifting.
And obviously, there are some shoplifters that would rather steal than pay for anything, regardless of how much money they have. I just tend to doubt that was the case with Randle and he could have very well walked out with the items without knowing it.
