Costa-Mota would take the doors and load them onto a lumber cart, said the Secret Service agent who investigated the case.

Wow, he messed with the wrong guys there. I can already see a movie about this in front of my inner eye. Gerard Butler plays the agent.

(Did they maybe want to say "a service agent who doesn't want to be named" or something?)

The sheer brass balls it would take to try this is impressive, I see why "con" is short for "confidence"

So 30% of Home Depot’s yearly wage theft? Oh no!

I'm glad we're so diligent about thefts towards corporations and the rich. Anytime I've been robbed, stolen from or assaulted, the cops couldn't even be bothered to pretend to care.

I mean, at some point you've gotta put the blame on the store. Why tf are they consistently letting a dude walk out with product he never paid for. And then why tf are they consistently returning them without receipt. Seriously, they should just let this guy go.

In a past life I watched people do this with lumber. A con as old as big box stores return desks.

People at my school used to do this all the time with electronics

I had to check I thought I was in a Trailer Park Boys community.

This is what you get for having an utterly stupid return policy. Complete assholes come in, asshole the place up, and get their balls slurped by management because 'DER COOSTERMUR IS ALWAYS ROIT!!!'

Happy to see these idiots (HD management) get fucked over like this. They all deserve it. Management in these stores is uniformly soulless corporate robots or people so beaten down by mediocrity that they can't be bothered to leave for a company that won't treat them like shit.

61 stores. This is not one dude being a dick. This is systemic failure on HD's part. Fuck 'em.

Also fuck that guy because there's no doubt he was a prick to everyone he encountered.
