It appears a man recently walked out of a Walmart in Cobb County with a cart full of items — but no receipt.

Acworth police are asking for help finding a man who shoplifted more than $500 of items from the store, which amounts to a felony.

The department posted a picture of the man to Facebook on Monday.
