At my mom's store the most commanly shoplifted items were: baby jesus from the nativity sets (we ended up taping them down) and 5 cent stickers, which we didn't care about anyways.
At my toy store the big theft item was bath fizzes. Yeah didn't make sense to me either, but hey at least they were bathing?
Of course at my last show I had a $75 quilt walk off too.

Quoth Pagan View PostA store I used to work at, we had t-shirts that were, at one point, on hangers. Cheap plastic hangers. The type you can get at the dollar store.
I never knew which was more disturbing. People stealing the shirts....or the hangers.
* A plastic plant pot for a tomato seedling. Yes, they took out the seedling and stole the pot, which costs about five pence.
* A poster advertising a store card.
* Trillions of pens. What is it about customers and stealing staff pens, anyway?
* Pushpins. There was a poster on the wall anchored with pushpins; some customer apparently took out the pushpins and stole them.
I also heard from a nearby music store about how someone once stole a lifesize cutout of Britney Spears (back in the days of her first single) and in the pub outside my college, someone stole one of the urinals out of the gents.
Nothing surprises me now as far as weird things stolen goes. O_o

What, did some bathroom ninjas spirit it away the Urinal to the Mythical Palace of 1000 Bathrooms or something? seriously... that's just...

At Hechinger's...we had some idiot actually steal one of the 'display' power drills. Whoever did it, went to all the trouble of going a couple aisles over, grabbing the nearest bolt cutters, and then returning to snip the security wires off the drill. I'm sure things got interesting when they arrived home with said drill, and it didn't work. Turns out, that the store would *remove* the motors from display units. So the non-working drills weighed the same, they'd fill the empty motor housing with rocks or concrete.Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

Reminds me of the book Junie B. Jones is not a crook, where some kid steals her gloves from her jacket cause they thought "Well they aren't taking very good care of them!"
Some kid tried to once steal my moms car, mind you...this thing had a photo of her on the front, with sirens ontop. Think it'd be pretty obvious whose car it is!

Quoth Project_Mars View PostI can kinda understand how one might be able to swipe a cardboard cutout from a music store... But how can (and why would) someone pry up and steal a urinal without someone noticing?
