Yeah, that happens a lot. The smart ones just take the product out of the packaging and leave it on the shelf somewhere. I find the things all the time, so I'm definately missing a lot. That's not really what I'm talking about though. I'm talking about the ones that security chases out of the store, or that try to scam us. They *aren't* smart about it. Sure, there's plenty of innocent looking scammers and *really* offputting normal customers, but they aren't all that common from what I've found. I treat everyone the same regardless anyway just in case I'm wrong, but still. I suppose what I'm finding aren't criminals but rather *attempted* criminals. I'm guessing they just grew up watching tv and when they got drunk or high enough to think stealing was a good idea, they just copied the aesthetics. Doesn't make having to deal with scammers that smell like they've never used a shower before and smoke a pack of cigaretts a day any better.

    > I find the things all the time, so I’m definately missing a lot. That’s not really what I’m talking about though. Which makes your question "Why do a specific subset of criminal folk, that I've defined as looking and acting in a specific fashion, look and act in a similar fashion?"
