It is interesting. A hundred or so years ago in this country, it was perfectly acceptable to defend your property with force. Some places in the world that is still the norm. But here today, the message is, "it's only money, or stuff". Think people have gotten the message? Apparently so. I wouldn't be comfortable taking someone's life over a couple of candybars, but I am also (less) uncomfortable just letting large numbers of people walk through my (non-existent) store or other property and taking whatever they please. And how long before someone gets mad about something and violence ensues?
Flash mobbing is a new fad, but it's catching on because it works, and there is very little danger. While I love the lockdown idea, I doubt most small storeowners could do that.

You would most likely be spending a lot of time in court with YOUR EXPENSIVE ATTORNEY and loose in the long run. It is up to you what you would do, it would be your decision and you would have to live with it.
To me this is pure theft and they would be chargable for the theft if it could be proven by more then just a camera view of the inside of the store.

Kill them for some goodies I don't think so.
If he had a security guard allowing three kids in at a time they would have went somewhere else and its a tax write off plus I bet every kid frequents that store they either live or go to school near by. video will make it easy to find them
