I had a dumbass friend who once went on a stealing binge. This was his scheme. He bought an entertainment center (I dunno, like a nice tv with a dvd player) from Wal-Mart and saved the receipt. He then would proceed to go into that same Wal-Mart, grab that same piece of equipment and stroll out the door with it. If anyone stopped him at the door he would simply show them the receipt (from his original purchase) and the idiot old people always let him slide by (clearly not checking the date on the receipt). But then one day, by coincidence, a cameraman in the store just happened to follow this individual's every move in the store (randomly). And of course, he saw everything he did, and the boy was busted.
Another thing...Best Buy, to me, has always been the hardest place to return crap to. Like this one time, I had bought this Xbox game at Meijer (in Dunlap) for cheap, but I decided I didn't want it while it was still in the package. So, I tried to take it back to Best Buy (because there is no Meijer in Bloomington), and I thought that at the worst they would give me a very small compensation for the game in store credit. In fact, that's all I really hoped for...but no, they just totally turned me away. I guess it was a stupid plan and a stupid story too, but it's all I have in the way of insight here.
