Thief Dons Walmart Smock, Steals Four Flat Screen TVs
In September, an alleged thief posing as a Walmart employee walked into a Dallas-area store, grabbed four big screen TVs, and simply walked out the way he came. That theft apparently worked so well, another shoplifter pulled the same stunt in Virginia.
WTVR News reports that a man dressed as a Walmart employee made an unauthorized trip into the retailer’s stockroom last month and left with four TVs.
A spokesperson for the local Crime Solvers says the man, dressed in khaki pants, a light grey sweatshirt, and a typical blue Walmart vest, loaded four flat-screen TVs onto a cart and pushed them out of the store through an emergency exit.
It only takes a blue vest to look like you're employed by one of the biggest retailers in the nation. I'd hate to see the dress code for employees at Walmart in let's say 20 years.
That's always been the easiest way to shoplift. Just walk right out with it and make no attempt to conceal the theft.
