I actually saw that happen in a past life working in a convenience store in the 70s. The store was in a "bad" part of town. A guy in a t-shirt came in, looked around, and then started to leave. He had a large can of Planter's nuts clearly visible under his shirt. I asked him where he was going with the nuts. He looked shocked and and asked what nuts. I said the ones under your shirt. Then he tried to say they were his. I said no they're not, they have the store price sticker on them, and I made him put the nuts down and leave.
That's the kind of stuff you have to deal with in retail.
Just telling what happened. Just imagine a black guy in a thin white t-shirt trying to shoplift a large can of nuts under his shirt. Painfully obvious.
A more successful operator one night went to the cooler, picked up a six-pack of beer, headed toward the counter, and then took a sudden left turn out the door.

And the toy was made in china.
