Flipping the Bacon

From the feedback I received on the elderly woman defending herself against a would be robber by bashing her with a package of bacon I can say the story was enjoyed by all. Underdog stories often end up being feel good stories,but there are underdog exceptions. An Arizona man with a motorized scooter has robbed a Walmart twice and is still at large. I'm not clear on what happened the first time but the second time he loaded the basket on the scooter and when an employee attempted to stop him from leaving he pinned her against the wall with the scooter. The next part doesn't make sense to me,two customers came to the employee's aid and the scooter thief absconded with the goods. It seems like someone could have blocked his exit since he had to stay in place to keep the employee pinned to the wall.  Walmart stores are the originators of the Code Adam where they can lock a store down if they suspect a child has been abducted so couldn't they have thwarted a thief and saved an employee with the same technology?
