[00:18.75]The temptation to steal is greater than [00:22.12]ever before--especially in large shops. [00:27.03]A detective recently watched a well-dressed [00:30.36]woman who always went into a large store [00:33.80]on Monday mornings. [00:35.90]One Monday, [00:37.46]there were fewer people in the shop [00:39.71]than usual when the woman came in, [00:43.52]so it was easier for the detective to watch her. [00:48.60]The woman first bought a few small articles. [00:52.98]After a little time, [00:54.95]she chose one of the most expensive dresses [00:58.71]in the shop and handed it to an assistant [01:02.41]who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. [01:07.16]Then the woman simply took the parcel [01:10.94]and walked out of the shop without paying. [01:15.38]When she was arrested, [01:17.49]the detective found out that [01:19.49]the shop assistant was her daughter. [01:23.02]The girl 'gave' her mother [01:25.33]a free dress once a week!
