Let's Start From the Beginning

To see how everything began, let's watch the TikTok in question. Also, fair warning, this TikTok contains NSFW Language:

While out and about, Romo was alerted that someone was stealing from her store. She quickly gave chase, sat right next the woman suspected of doing it, and proceeding to loudly announce the woman's alleged thievery.

When interviewed by KIII, Romo said she didn't say anything to the woman until she started the video recording. The woman, who remains unidentified, is seen trying to push Romo away and at times cover her face.

Eventually, Houston police officers caught up to the woman and arrested her for misdemeanor theft. She was also undergoing a mental evaluation.

The Moral of the Story?

It shouldn't need to be said, but stealing from any place of business is not a good idea. But also massive kudos to Sophia, who didn't let the accused thief get away easily.

So what's the biggest takeaway from this?
