    That's the headline of a recent WRAL report. The report continues:

    A Home Depot employee who was in the hospital for weeks after being shoved down by a man stealing merchandise has died from his injuries. Hillsborough police said Gary Rasor died on Thursday after being assaulted by a man on Oct. 18 at the Hillsborough Home Depot. ... He was 82 years old at the time of the crime...

    "Everyone loves him, he's an outstanding individual," Andy Simmons with Hillsborough police said at the time. "And then somebody does something like this to him just to commit a larceny, it's absolutely ridiculous."

    His family told WRAL News he was supposed to come home for Christmas and the family was planning on taking a vacation with all the grandchildren.

    His wife Yovonne Rasor was looking forward to spending this holiday with family and the New Year traveling with her husband. ...

    Surveillance footage shows the thief walking past Gary and pushing him down on his way out the door of the garden center with stolen merchandise on his cart. ...

    Hillsborough police are investigating the case and hope information from the public that will assist in identifying the person responsible.

    The man left the scene in a white, four-door, Hyundai Sonata with an obscured North Carolina temporary tag. ...

    Gary Rasor's memorial will be December 9 at Clements Funeral in Hillsborough.


    Don't let anyone tell you organized retail theft is a victimless crime!
