Your company paid you to do a specific job. I don’t imagine the job expectations were to physically apprehend thieves; that’s what security is for. You could have been stabbed or shot. Your employer’s bottom line is not worth your life. However pissed off it makes you feel that some asshole makes off with store items, you’re not the store owner. I get that it sucks, but your firing is because of liability, not because you tried to do the “right thing”
No, dont waste your time. Apple products are not repairable by end users.
