Full Version: Thieving from Tesco
The guy in front of me in tesco yesterday used a novel way of robbing from the store.
He bought over £600 worth of goods, including some expensive mobile phones and two trolleys piled high with shopping. He laid out the mobile phones first, they were scanned, the security tags removed, then all the food was shoved through the till after.
Anyway, instead of putting the mobile phones into bags, he put them in his pockets.
Ten minutes later, after everything was packed into bags he handed over his card to pay and it was declined - he couldn't remember his PIN. He said - "I won't be a second, I just need to get my wallet from the car" and left all the goods there as security.
He was never seen again and it was only later that they realised they'd very helpfully removed the security tags on the mobile phones for him!
Thieving scumbag - but ingenious as well.
Cheers mate.

I remember a few years ago when I lived in Durham & I did the weekly shop I was always so use to paying with stuff on my switch card but think I had been away on holiday for 2 weeks.... I got to the till & it came to over £100 but I had left my switch card in the house I must of bought something off E bay.... so imagine my horror when I open Wallet & see NO card & the ex misses didn't have her purse... I said Oh I left my card at home I will have to go & get it... I got the the door of the shop & thought... You Plonker... just pay using cash !!!!
Also the ex told me of a trick her aunties would do when shopping.. they would go shopping & buy the exact same stuff one would pay & get a receipt the other would not ! if stopped a receipt could be produced !!!
And next week on Mike Tells The World How To Steal...

Happy to be of service.
Another way...get a water meter, then rig a pipe from your neighbour's (who hasn't got one) to yours. Split the savings with your neighbour.
