A US man sick of seeing people shoplift from his local Walmart has shamed a woman into returning the goods.
The incident was caught on video and uploaded to YouTube by user Brandon Messenger, who said in the description: “After watching this chick in the store attempt to shoplift several items I decided to let her see me following her until she decided to change her mind.”
”I started filming when she starting pulling item after item out of a purse that at one point was also concealed in her own purse.”

The man, who said he didn't work for Walmart, hounded the woman and threatened to pin her to the ground at one point as he badgered her into taking the items out of her handbag and back on the shelf.
“I’m getting pretty sick of seeing shoplifters in here,” he said as the woman replaced the items.
He then demanded that she provide him with ID, but she fled after the shoplifter vigilante asked a staff member to call the store manager.
The user who posted the video told TheBlaze the incident happened at a Walmart in Washington State.
