people are not so honest as they once were.[00:00:16]
the temptation to steal is greater than ever before -- especially in large shops.[00:00:20]
a detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on monday mornings.[00:00:28]
one monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in,[00:00:37]
so it was easier for the detective to watch her.[00:00:44]

after a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible.[00:00:54]
