Years ago, as a part-time job, I was a floor walker in a May Department store.
I sometimes worked with security, and one time a guy grabbed a jacket and headed out the door. He was BIG and sort of scary looking. I chased him awhile, and almost caught up with him, and the very same thought occurred to me:
I wonder what I would do if I ever caught him?
Having absolutely no training in subduing someone, being by myself, and having no clue as to what weapon, if any, the perpetrator had, I quickly stopped chasing him and turned back.
Note:
A few weeks later, one of the lady security types ended up in the hospital with injuries sustained in such a pursuit!
