This is why there's police and other responsible bodies/authorities to report to. Just because you suspect someone has stolen property does not give you the authoritative or legal right to do whatever you want to them.
Right, that's why retail store ALWAYS *note sarcasm* report theft to the police, even if it was some 3 years old taking candy

I don't understand the point you're trying to make here. Retail stores do have the right to press shoplifting charges regardless of who commits the crime. Whether they do or not is up to the store owner/administrator's discretion.
