On Halloween day, 1989, Tallahassee, Fla., K-Mart employee Jeff Sablom was taking a break in the back of the store to try on the Batman costume he had planned to wear to a party that night when a security guard asked for his help to apprehend a shoplifter.
Said the guard later, “You should have seen that man’s eyes when he looked back and saw Batman chasing him.”
Sablom recovered four cartons of cigarettes and two videocassettes.
