There are good things you can do with your 5-year-old kid, and there are bad. We were always unsure which category a shoplifting trip to 7-Eleven belonged in, but the video above clears that right up. DPD sent over the video.

:20 Another couple walks up, this one with a kid.
1:08 Man stuffs more detergent into his pants.
1:46 The kid, who looks like he’s five or six, covers his eyes and turns away as the woman starts to load detergent into her purse.
