’If only he had paid for groceries’
His excuse for wheeling the basket with about £15 worth of groceries in it out of the self-service store at Croydon and putting them in his car and driving off without paying was: “Nobody seemed to be interested in me when I went to the cash register – so I just wheeled the basket out.“
But if he had paid for the groceries in the normal way, or even if had told the manager he had not paid for them when approached outside the shop, then the Law may not have caught up with him and he may not have appeared in the Dandenong Court.

Know where to find help
“Know How“ is the key to success for small businesses in the 96’s“ says seminar organiser Chris Kosh.
Speaking to small business in Springvale last week, Mr Kosh said not knowing how to access resources was one of the biggest obstacles to small businesses success.
Services directly aimed at small business are available from financial institutions, major corporations, statutory authorities, government departments and educational institutions.
