In Portsmouth, England, a charity shop named Friends Fighting Cancer experienced an incident of shoplifting that was recorded on CCTV. On November 23rd, two men were seen selecting football shirts and proceeded to steal them by concealing the stolen items in their clothing. The founder of the charity, Ray Ogilvie, noticed the theft and took a different approach compared to typical business responses to theft by sharing the video on social media. His intention was to appeal to the perpetrators in a gentle manner rather than resorting to quick involvement of law enforcement. Ogilvie expressed a hope that the men would either return the stolen items or pay for them, while emphasizing the importance of their charitable mission, which supports local families affected by cancer.
