Shop broke into

Guys I worked in a large supermarket chain store and saw an old lady get her billfold snatched. I followed the lady thief trying to go out the ingoing door got her arm caught in the door and broke it. Yep the company got sued and the thief won but I got satisfaction. The last time I stopped a thief was when I caught her putting a small canned ham in a plastic bag. When I stopped her at the outgoing door she swung the bag with the ham at me but missed cause my fist broke her nose. I won that case (self defense) sure felt good. Bring back the vigilanties.
