    I have done on purpose. It is fun and easy.

    Go to home depot (I hate that place anyway). Get the type of cart that has the big metal tube that runs around the top. Meant for atacking sheets of material flat.

    Buy a sheet of something cheap. Thin plywood, foam board, whatever. Lay it across the top. Get a smaller one and stand it up vertically so you have a top and side facing shield.

    Get a nice cordless power tool and put it down at the bottom.

    Go through self checkout and pay for the sheets (make sure barcode faces up).

    The cameras from the top and register can’t see the power tool. Just be cool and leave. Never go back.

    It really does take a village.

      I think you’re mistaking people’s acceptance of the inevitable accidental mishap for condoning outright theft.

      You intentionally steal. And not bare essentials at that, opting for the “nice” items even.

      This isn’t the white knight move you think it is.

      Uh huh, they for sure didn’t see you taking that tool in the first place.

      Actually try it and let us know…
