What a messed up guy. There's got to be something more than his love of Legos or money.

And I completely agree that article was painful to read at some points, due to the awful puns. Some of them were really stretching the premise (especially the "Wookie's bar" comment. WTF does that even mean?).

Even if the workers doing inventory in the toy department don't find it, the ones assigned to other areas will. As long as it is somewhere on the sales floor and not under an aisle, it will be found when they do inventory.

But that's not the point of stashing a figure. Most people who do stash things do it with the intention that they will be back relatively soon to purchase said item. I've even heard some managers and staff say they let it happen because it usually means a guaranteed sale. Others will put it back immediately if they see you stash something. Or sometimes if the staff is facing shelves and finds an item that doesn't belong there, they will put it in a cart and return it to the proper section (along with all the other crap they found that doesn't belong there).

I have heard of some collectors who will stash things in order for other collectors to find later. Personally, I think that it's great if you know who the other collector is and when they will be by to get the item. Otherwise, you could be keeping some kid from getting it.

I'm not so much afraid of the belt, but the sound it makes when it clears the belt loops. It's the main reason to this day I take my belt off slowly every night.
