Japan Theft Prevention

AkibaBlog covers some interesting theft warning signs in Akiba.
The first one says "If you steal then you shall pay with your body" ^^;

Saber is watching you below.


Gundam warning "you shall be corrected." Literal translation - not sure of nuance.

"Our surveillance cameras really work."

The standard procedure when caught stealing is that one is lead into a room, questioned and then the parents, school or work place is called to report the incident.

The video below is of undercover "Manbiki G Men" who patrol supermarkets - here they catch two school girls stealing and lead them to the back office for questioning.

The below video is interesting - G-Men are supposed to be undercover but this G-men dresses up as an undercover alligator and still manages to catch a thief!

"Manbiki" [万引き] means "to steal."
Have you manbiki anything before and if so what was it?
