Deputies: Fla. woman, adult son stole $2M in toys - Yahoo! News

For a second there I thought this thread was going to be about me. dodged a bullet there ;)

Does this mean stores will now be on the look out for toy swappers?

No, Fancy, they're not on to us yet. Though that old lady wig is super uncomfortable :D

WOW!!! Clever, but not...

Haha fools

Hilarious.

Whenever I hear these stories, or see packages in stores with missing contents, I'm always wondering where these people do this stuff. I can't go two minutes in a TRU without being checked on. There's always kids and parents running around.. where do you sit and do this? It's not like pulling figures out of plastic bubbles, or moving Legos around, is a silent act.

What a scam!! Why didn't I think of that? :D kidding

Not really about toys themselves, so moved to GD.

As for the topic, I love how he still tried to use the Rewards card all the while he was ripping off TRU.

Thanks, treble.

what pieces of scum these people are. fuck em.

If he had just bought the items and turned around and sold them at a higher price he would have turned a profit. This idiot, and his mother, just got greedy.

this happens all the time at work. thieves are not dumb by any means. just cocky as hell.

Well shit, I just posted about this in the swapper thread. I agree that it would seem unlikely that they could pull this off, I too am pestered like crazy anytime I walk into a TRU. This kind of explains why though...... and how did they afford to travel so extensively? I mean Hawaii? This is one crazy story.
