well, if stores hike up prices to a point where its not worth it to buy something, then by all means steal it. if then, they decide to prevent you from obtaining necessary items, then break in and take it, and do all the damage that you can.

@johnnywebnot true, its about all kinds of return fraud. for example, when they describe wardrobing

to me, saying "it should be 75$" implies an opinion in this case, and is almost equivalent to "i think it should be 75$". the former is just not as specific as the latter.

I work for Fry's...In fact, I work in the returns department.First of all, screw you.I can tell you for a fact that people do this all the time, along with trying to return an open box item that they have stolen the accessories from (routers with no antennas) and say that they werent there when they bought it. we cant do anything because we cant prove anything.ive had several occasions where people tried to return their old memory with the sticker put on it from their new one. one guy had some sdram with a ddr2 sticker on it. unfortunately, at least half of our returns associates cant tell the difference between sdram and ddr2 by sight, so im sure more people have done this than just him.
