One time this lady brought an old tv back in a new box to return. The electronics guy told her he could tell by the model/sn that it was 3 years old. The lady threw a fit and insisted she had just bought it. The manager caved and gave her the refund.
X-box 360. Take home, remove insides, place insides in old x-box 360, put old insides in new x-box 360 and return.
We had some Chinese student from Texas going around buying laptops, removing the insides, filling the laptop with SAND, weighing the laptop to get it right, professionally resealing the laptops in packaging so you could not tell the box had been opened and returning. They hit up places along the gulf coast from Texas to Florida. They caught them here where I live. Not the store I worked at mind you but a nearby store. They got my store for three. Cheeky Chinese.
I got stories about stories. T-bone in the pants stories.
I am FOR sharia law for thieves...
Customers object when you try to put those back on the shelf.
