Quoth PepperElf View PostI think that's because of the size. Bit hard to conceal something like that unless you're Captain Jack Harkness.
Remember record albums? Those huge lps (what are they, 12 inches by 12 inches?. Someone I knew in high school had a relative (whom she would have gladly disowned) who walked into a store, and walked out with a stack of 25 of those things. Since he did it so openly, so nonchalantly, everyone just assumed he'd paid someone else and was legit, no one stopped or questioned him.
Of course, nowadays it's harder, with security systems & all, but not all shops are that sophisticated, even now.
Oh, and even larger, I once heard of somone walking off from a garage sale with an outboard motor - each of the two people running it assumed the guy had paid the other one.
Madness takes it's toll....
Please have exact change ready.

Quoth Merriweather View PostJust cause something is big doesn't mean it doesn't get shoplifted.

This guy was ballsy enough to create HIS OWN BARCODES which he would then bring to store and stick to items to get discounts...oh yes and he just happens to be a MILLIONAIRE.

Quoth PepperElf View PostUm... I wasn't talking about shoplifting though. Although if someone has a pocket big enough to shoplift an AK47 I'll be impressed. (not to mention that they're usually kept behind the counter)
Excepting of course the Captain...
guess I'd skimmed the earlier post - or not had enough coffee
