Here is the thing, from the news report:

"He came before, two or three times, and sometimes he came and stole a 12-pack. Before, he stole a 12-pack three or four times. We also reported to the law," said Nick Zaman, the store owner.

So, this thief, apparently, anytime he ran out of beer, just walked into the neighborhood store, and picked up a 12 pack. Didn't bother paying for it, just took it. Store owner has called the police several times. Still happening.

So, how would you react if this was YOUR business? YOUR livelihood?

(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or
