So yeah if I see something that catches my eye like a new figure or figures and for some reason I don't have my debit card with me fuck yes I get that shit and take it a few aisles over and hide it. BUT I do come back and get it that same day..

That's pretty much my case. Though I hardly ever forget my wallet, I do forget my Debit card at times. There were two cases where I forgot my card at home or something. And honestly that's when I started hiding stuff.

First case: I was about to pick up the Gigantic Battles Frost Giant/Loki pack at my Wal-Mart, but realized I forgot my card, so I stashed it, got my card at home and came back and bought it the same day.

Second case: The same Wal-Mart just got some fresh stock of PoC GI Joe figures (basically just one nice long peg filled to the very end). Lo and behold, I forgot I lent my card to my mom. Had to go back home to retrieve it. I didn't stash anything this time though, 'cause again, it was a whole peg full. I came back a half hour later - the whole damn peg's worth of Joes were gone! Y'know I really would like to see the glass half full and think that it might've been a fellow collector who was really into army building. But I was more prone to see the glass half empty at that point and assumed it was a scalper. You have to admit that that is not normal....

So yeah, that's when I started hiding things I really wanted that could just disappear later, but like I said I'll stop now and quit being "dickish" as some may call it. I'll stop interrupting this thread now - sorry.
