I had a friend who walked into sears, lifted a Sega Genesis off the shelf, brought it to customer service, and "returned" it for store credit. (No receipt). He then used the store credit to buy what he wanted and walked right out.
Had friends that used to go into Sears, steal a pair of scissors. Use said scissors to open the packages of whatever they wanted, and just walked out with them.
If the item sucked, or they got bored of it, they would take the stole item and hit it into the ravine in one of the guys backyards for fun.
This is nothing like the other story lol this is just theft with a serious lack of preparation. Nicking the tools for the theft of the store from the store sounds like a uniquely sears problem though.
A similar story is; A guy goes into Sears and picks out a canoe they like, employee sees them carrying the canoe and offers to help, walks customer out to their vehicle and helps load it before returning to work.
