A friend of mine plucked one of those anti-theft plastic
doohickeys from
a high-ticket item and stuck it onto the back of my belt and I set
off the detector over and over again as I walked through the exit
door.

Some friend.

I wish I had thought of it.









It's an old trick, I worked at Home Depot as a 2nd job a few years back,
had a co-worker stick on on my collar. Everytime I walked through the
Sensormatic system, it'd go off, and the people near it at the time
would be asked for their receipts.. All the while, they'd let me walk,
since everyone knew who I was...(and I was just hittin up the hot dog
vendor.)
Not many stores are going to risk stripping you down to find that little
tag. If you're with them, not being flakey, and they already realize you
dont have any large quantitites or items on you, it's cheaper to let you
walk than to prosecute, possibly falsely.
