Ok, so I was in my local Wal-Mart again today & I saw a basic 26 Kane package torn open w/ the figure gone. I didn't take a pic because I didn't get too close to the package for fear the store might think I had something to do w/ the theft. My question is this; How in the heck does somebody manage to get a figure out of it's package w/out half the store hearing it? I just moved & I repackaged some of my figures for transport. When I opened them again to display them it sounded twice as loud as when I opened them initially. Has anyone ever been able to open a package w/out making a ton of noise(w/out using scissors)? I don't see how someone can steal a figure w/out being heard & caught. It boggles the mind.

I saw a DC Unlimited Superman like that. The dude tore right into the front of the plastic, like Superman just burst out of it.

So...you want us to teach you how to steal? No way, bra. No way. NO, I do not want you to teach me how to steal. It was a general question wondering how in the world it can happen w/out people hearing it? If I wanted advice on how to commit a crime, do you think would ask a public forum made up of the people who would be most bothered by said offense? Not likely. You're talking it too literally my friend.

It's all about speed and confidence, many years ago I worked loss prevention at a Walmart. For example if your in a toy aisle and your hesitating and hanging around pondering weather you are going to shoplift or not, you draw suspicion so odds are cameras are going to focus on you and now you have increased your chances of getting caught. However if you storm into the store I go into the aisle grab the item open it and get the F outta there odds are you won't be noticed or caught Ps. Don't steal

I think the most common thing would be to take said figure into the bathrooms = no cameras. Take what you wanted out of the package and dump the empty package somewhere, anywhere.
I worked at wal-mart before and this would happen all the time mostly with dvds, condoms, etc. But one time i found an empty package of hamburger meat, that one totally mystified me. I showed that to the store manager and explain how crazy i thought that was. He did not share my shock so he must have seen things similar to that before.

Walk in Walk to aisle Open packaging Remove figure Walk away I mean it's not rocket science dude. Speed and confidence get you everywhere. There's only one person watching those LP cameras usually, half the time the aisle you're in doesn't have one, and the one or two LP people they have walking around have a whole store to look at, not just the toy aisle.

Really, REALLY blows my mind how some of these threads get locked and THIS thread stays open. People taking turns giving someone advice on how to steal and get away with it.
I will never understand wfigs.

Yeah, basic boxes are easier to open. I could prolly open it in like 5 seconds, but no, I hate stealing. For elite boxes though, I haven't had a clue on how they would do it without getting caught.
