Japanese shoplifter spanked

Pic borrowed from: My Innervision

Once regarded as the most obedient and self-disciplined young people in the world, Japanese youth are fast becoming incorrigible.

Often blamed on the effects of a declining birth rate, this phenomenon has resulted in increased shoplifting by adolescents.

Now Luraido Mall, in South Central Japan, has vowed to fight back. Despairing of a justice system increasingly clogged with young petty thieves, store owners have taken to dispensing instant justice.

"Six hard swats with the paddle, and the thief learns her lesson fast," says store-owner Hiroki Sagawa. "Shoplifting's down dramatically since mall management handed out paddles to tenants."

Yeah, what Paqster said... Where can I find this mall?!? I know of a certain naughty young lady who might benefit from a little hands-on correction to cure her of kleptomania.

Sounds like a great idea. Post a sign at the mall entrance: Proceeding beyond this point subjects you to a paddling for shoplifting. Just like a Wal-Mart greeter, each customer should be greeted by the store disciplinarian holding a paddle. This would stop shoplifting. Nothing else has worked.
