I recently discovered a channel on Youtube called Gas Station Encounters which is a channel run by a gas station employee who has taken a stand against people who try to steal from his store. The gas station has very good security cameras which they monitor closely in real time so they are able to catch shoplifters who try to pocket items without paying.
Once they are caught, the employee confronts them and makes them pay. Sometimes they charge them more for trying to steal. Sometimes they just confiscate everything they stole and kick them out of the store. Often they follow them out to get their license plate number in order to help the police identify them.
The best part is, since it is all recorded by the surveillance cameras, they have the whole thing on tape. They then take the footage and create a video with it including funny play by play commentary for the whole thing. Then they upload it to Youtube for everyone to see.
The videos are very well done and the creator is quite funny and talented. Sometimes he even makes original songs about what is happening in the video. They capture a surprising about of criminals trying to steal, but they also catch a lot of other stuff that happens around the store, for example store mishaps, people illegally dumping garbage, and pretty much anything interesting that happens to get caught on tape.
As someone who likes to see justice get served, Gas Station Encounters has quickly become one of my favorite Youtube channels. In a time where it can he hard to catch shoplifters and have them actually be arrested, this channel is actively doing something about it. They catch people in the act and are not afraid to confront them about it.
Usually the owner is able to get their license plate number, but even when they get away, they are still caught on camera and they end up going on Youtube for hundreds of thousands of people to see what they have done. If you like to see criminals getting caught red handed and confronted for their actions, and you like funny videos, I highly recommend checking out Gas Station Encounters!
