merchandise which is verified yeah I'm going to look at that uh the Solomon case that I had as a reference yeah it'll be similar to that yeah it's it's almost like the same thing one incident with multiple other ones tied in with it is hey if they're not pressing charges they don't get the property back don't forget that but if they take it just make sure get a picture of whatever property they take for like the video you're saying um are they you're saying that they can't burn it because they weren watching it right so they they don't have footage of it okay tell them if if he can and finds it right at a later date otherwise just worry about confirming that it was taken and the receipt have print from like 150 on yeah until we stopped here like 4:30 so pretty big window but as long as
