The kid is probably just the front... I won't be surprise if the dad is the real con man.

That's sorta funny, it's a good thing when I opened mine it was a real lol

Sorry Ben, don't see the humor, just the degradation of a society. That's all I see. Of course it starts with marketing telling everyone how much they need these things to the point that some will do anything to have it.

Exactly how I see it, Grant. And it is very sad.

This is really nothing new under the sun. When HomeDepot first opened some 15 years ago, I was in building construction. I would go into buy lock sets only to find that the boxes could contain old lock sets.

I also knew people who brag about buying a tool, finish what he needs that for and return it to HomeDepot - at least he told me he used another blade which he did not return.

it's really sad. Unfortunately it is too easy to pull off. Customer service staff never check the items inside if they think it was never opened so when they do go back on the shelf, they can sell at full price and not at an "open item" price.

It's unfortunate, there needs to be a better policy in place for companies like Futureshop and Best Buy to protect their products once they leave the store. It's way too easy for people to abuse

Better and more restrictive policies will help but if its seen as a hindrance to "regular" customers, they won't do it. Companies build in these expenses into the cost of their products, making us pay for these criminal activities. Anyone of these stores that have the "satisfaction guaranteed or your money back" policies are easy pickings for this type of theft. Interesting to see alot of small shops have no refund / exchange only policies. They just can't afford to absorb these types of losses.
