Glad your wife is okay. That is very scary, and I sure hope they catch them soon!

@Magnolia832 : I'm so sorry to hear about your wife's experience. I'm glad she is okay. Did you contact the Pearland Police Department and file a report? I would recommend doing that. Maybe the PPD can view video coverage on the cameras HEB has in the parking lots.

@Magnolia832 : Is this happened to you yesterday? It's terrible. I heard last night that crime has escaleted tremendously with the stAy home order. I think 🤔 People is getting crazier by the minute.

Wow - I am so sorry your wife went through that - but thank you for posting. I never thought about someone stealing when you go to return your basket. I will be more diligent now.

The PPD needs to be everywhere. Before lockdown I was walking out of Sprouts with groceries. A lady in blue scrubs was pushing a basket ahead of me. She stopped, walked back to table by the door and picked up a case of oranges. Placed in her basket.
She looked like a first responder.scrubs, mask, googles, and hat. I followed her out. She was parked next to me in the parking lot. I followed her to her car. Did not unlock my car. She pushed her basket full of groceries around her car and left sitting. Then walked across the lot to Burger King. Stayed on her phone.
I just stood there. Waiting. Another hoopie pulled up behind her car and a man dressed like her got out and started loading the groceries in her car. She was watching from the Burger King parking lot.
Once done he jumped in his car and drove off. She was still at Burger King.
By then I had spent 10 minutes standing in the parking lot. Unlocked my car and drove off.
I am deeply disturbed when I see theft like that. No telling about the other items in the basket.

So sorry your wife had to go through this. Tell her I'm really proud of her to have the presence of mind to do what she did. I would call the police so they could be on the lookout for someone matching that description.
