her favorite store, Cash-Mart. She is looking for a new laptop, but she

for an appointment, she attempts to leave the store, walking very fast.
However, before she can leave, she is stopped by a security guard who
accuses her of shoplifting. Patty, who has taken nothing, denies any
wrong doing. The officer insists and takes Patty to a small room in the
back of the store. The guard tells Patty that if she attempts to leave
the room she will be arrested and sent to jail. At this point, the guard
leaves the room. Patty is scared and waits in the room for over an hour
until the manager comes in and apologizes and tells Patty that she is
free to go.About this same time, Gerry Golfer is hitting golf balls in
his backyard. Gerry decides to break out his new driver and hits a golf
