According to some specialized sites, "shoplifter" is an old term used to describe people dedicated to stealing in stores, especially those who do it by hiding items among the clothes they are wearing to avoid being discovered. This type of theft usually occurs in self-service stores with small objects that can go unnoticed.
Recently, a moment became popular when a woman attempted to steal a blender without paying and was caught in the act. In a video of less than 20 seconds, it is shown how the woman is forced to take off part of her clothing to remove the motor of the appliance, then leaving the item on the ground and leaving the place.

The video of the incident has been shared on various platforms and has generated more than half a million views. Among the comments, there are opinions calling for harsher penalties against offenders and accounts of other theft cases. One of the messages accompanying the post expressed: “A woman was arrested after attempting to steal a blender in the store (...) in the Agrícola Pantitlán neighborhood, on the borders of Iztacalco, CDMX.” The dissemination of such events has sparked various opinions about the problem of theft in stores and the need to take measures regarding it.
