Remember everyone. If you see someone shoplifting from Walmart, no you didn't.
I feel like it depends. Stealing is morally wrong no matter what. But I'd probably act as if I saw nothing if someone just stole a sandwich or similar. I'm not sure I'll act the same if I see a teenage girl of a family that is obviously very well off steal things like makeup (that one literally bragged about it in front of her parents during a dinner where I was invited).

As long as it's just "shoplifting". Where I'm at, people will come in on a bike with a trash bag, load it up, roll out, and go to the next town over and sell the stuff on the street in the ghetto.
Since you kids are so sheltered you don't believe anything like this happens, here it is on video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f8JLIWxxya4
