In Toledo, Ohio, Jitendra "Jay" Singh was working in his store's back office,  when his cashier alerted him to a possible shoplifter.  Singh confirmed the employee's suspicions when he witnessed the teenager pocket gum and candy on the store's security cameras. As Singh's employee called 911 and had a dispatcher on the phone, the boy told Singh why he was stealing. "He said, 'I'm stealing for myself. I'm hungry, and I'm doing it for my younger brother,'" .

Singh asked his employee to hang up.

"Singh said, 'Well that's not food. You're stealing gum and candies. That's just something for munching,'" Singh, who has owned the store for five years. "Singh said, 'If you're hungry, ask me. I'll give you food.'"

I WENT TO THE 7 - ELEVEN STORE ON UPTON AND BERDAN AND A YOUNG MAN AROUND 15 OR 16 WAS CAUGHT SHOPLIFTING. THE OWNER OF THE STORE TOLD THE CASHIER TO CALL 911. THERE WAS ANOTHER MAN IN THE STORE THAT OFFERED TO PAY FOR THE MERCHANDISE THE YOUNG MAN TOOK. THE OWNER MADE HIM EMPTY OUT HIS POCKETS. HE HAD A LOT OF MUNCHIES. THE YOUNG MAN SAID HE ONLY WANTED TO FEED HIMSELF AND HIS LITTLE BROTHER. THE OWNER SAID, THIS IS NOT FOOD. YOU WANT FOOD I GIVE YOU FOOD. THE CASHIER HAD THE 911 OPERATOR ON THE PHONE. THE OWNER TOLD HER TO HANG UP. HE WENT AND STARTED PUTTING CHICKEN DRUMMIES, SAUSAGE ROLLS, AND A WHOLE PIZZA AND GAVE HIM A 2 LITER. I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN AMAZING THING THE OWNER DID. I WAS SO TOUCHED I GAVE THE YOUNG MAN $10.00 SOME YOUNG PEOPLE JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE CARES. JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE THIS WITH YOU. HAVE A BLESSED NIGHT.
