I wonder how much is stolen in a year at Walmarts across the country. A few weeks ago I went to get some ink cartridges for computer printer and when the saleswoman took me over to where they should have been n the shelf, there were NONE... She said "Oh My God,I can't believe we sold all of those since last Wed".... I said were they stolen? She said we're not allowed to say that.... Unreal.

Probley the graphics card .. reminds me of the scam ee used to do in reverse .. the original " jordan jammer " 6 foot box or so was massive and
the pieces only took up a small portio of the box .. used to load the box up with expensive items then checkout .. then return the entire jordan jammer ...

many of the scams seen on the trailer park boys were remarkably similar to ones guys in my hood "used " to do .. including having someone on our path ahead of us on garbage day dragging valuable items to the edge of curb on garbage day and then we come garbage picking shortly afterwards in junk truck
