Several years ago when I was running my PI business full time I got wind of a guy taking orders for tools and would come back with your order. I bought several tools from him and they had Home Depot stickers on them. I contacted the head of security for HD out of Atlanta.

He hired me and I setup surveillance on the guy. We followed him to HD in Hanover, NJ and he and his buddy just walked into the store, filled up two carts, and simply walked out of the store. We busted them in the lot.

What kills me is Wal-mart has the self check-out that you know people don't scan everything and the 80 yr old at the door ain't gonna catch it with ten bags of stuff in the cart. Home Depot, same story.

But I guess it's cheaper than the cashier...

In case you did not notice, those self check out systems have scales. If you skip scanning an item and just toss it in a bag, the computer will notice, because the weight went up...
