What do you steal or have you stolen ?

[potthole]

Totally unrelated to this thread, but this post here reminded me of back when I was in high school, working at a Dick's Sporting Goods.

We had some dude steal a kyak. Walked right in, went straight to the second floor, grabbed the kyak, and walked right out with it. Even waved and said thanks to the cashiers as he went out the door.

Nobody really thought much at the time, because they figured he had paid for it already. It wasn't that uncommon to see somebody back their car or truck up to the door, to pick up a boat or other large item, so everybody just assumed that was the case again. Oops.

I'd call that testicular fortitude. A whole f'ing kayak ?

You're tellin' me. We didn't realize anything was astray until later that night when doing closing inventory. A check back through the security tapes showed the dude walking right out with it.

I was actually pretty shocked at how bold some people would get when it came to attempting to steal stuff from us.
