Basically, a group of five, black college age males approached a store that still looked like it was open in NJ. Testing the door of the well lit store, they found it open, and proceeded to enter to make their small purchases. When no one came to the register, when they openly had the opportunity to steal as they pleased, they actually made an effort to show to the possible cameras that they were leaving the correct payment for the items they were trying to buy.
The one shown in the picture above actually dug out change to add to his payment, telling later that he was just remembering to add the tax on.
Situations like this, where human error from many parties involved could have ended in jail time and jobs lost, just ended up in satisfied customers and a surprisingly grateful store operator. The woman that ran the small store actually took her time to find the four gentleman, thank them profusely for their amazing honesty, and then gave them each a gift card to spend at the store in the future.
Honesty is the best policy after all!
