Is clerk party to thief

"at a clerk smiled and held the door open for Lindsay Lohan when she walked out of a jewelry store that later accused her of stealing a $2,500 necklace"

According to an article the above quote was taken from, it has been hinted at that the clerk allowed Miss Lohan to walk out with the necklace knowingly and may be complicent in the thief.

First and foremost, even if the clerk participated Linsay Lohan still stole the necklaceand in order to claim the clerk was complicent ould first have to admit her quilt.

Secondly, the clerk may have know the necklace was being stolen but could do nothing about it.

Remember a year or so ago where two security guards at a Best Buy were fired after they apprehended a shoplifter? Best Buy had a policy in place that probids pursuing a shoplifter outside the store, which is what the security guys did. The place where I work has the same policy plus no non member of management can stop a person for shoplifting.

I do not know the policy of the jewelry store where the clerk woorked nor the laws of the staste the store is located in but if the incident had happend in North Carolina, then all the clerk was allowed to do was hold the door open, smile. and let Miss Lohan leave. To do otherwise would have been a violation of the law.
