On November 11, 2025, officers were called to a retail store inside Austin Burks International Airport after a woman allegedly walked out with over $1,100 in unpaid merchandise. >> But she literally stole that both of those bags from him while he was helping another customer. I was just coming in to work and he told me about it. So, I said, "I'll help you look cuz he's going to lose his job." That's over $1,000 worth of bags. >> Now, she says she's going to pay for it cuz she thought she could just walk out and never charge her. Thank you. >> I can show you on camera right here if you want. >> That roller is like 700 something bucks and the backpack itself is like 450 something bucks. She's trying to say that she thought this was one of like you know how like Amazon has stores where you can like grab stuff and walk out and they charges it to your account. She's saying it was like that, but like the video that she just got, you can tell she walks up, grabs it. She steps over here like looking and she's looking and then she walks in like right there for a second and then she just walks out right now. And I was sitting there like >> Oh, okay. I'll wait for him because I know he's getting video with you guys. >> It was busy. That's why I walk. There's places that you walk in and out. And that's I thought it was a scam as you walk out. I wasn't trying to leave without it. I sat on my gate. I'm not trying to do anything. I'm willing to pay for it. And I apologized to him. He said he could lose his job. And I'm I feel really bad.

I would have come back. >> What I am saying is sometimes if people if you were to believe that that store was one of those stores you could just walk in and walk out. >> Yeah. >> Why would you take the tags off? You don't have to answer that question. What I'm saying is >> Those are questions that the people inside the store asked me. >> Yeah, I didn't want to walk. >> I'm not asking you. >> No, like would you walk around with a bag with the tags on it? I don't >> I'm I'm not asking you that. I'm just telling you what they what they said. >> No, I understand. No, it's not even I'm not questioning their I'm not questioning their thought process.
