We have a member here who has told us about getting away with stealing from a big box store. As if he'd receive a pat on the back for stealing...
Thieves are lowlife scum.

Plenty of guys in suits and ties (in the public and the private sector) that steal a whole lot more than a $4 oil filter at the public's expense.
I haven't bought an oil filter from an auto parts store in many years. All of my Amazon and Rock Auto parts are exactly what I ordered, and 99% of the time arrive in new condition. But generally yes, people suck, and suck more with every passing year, and I just wonder what is going to happen next in our society.
On a positive note, I got a kick out of the story about the shoe store ... guy put his old shoes in the new box and walked out wearing new shoes LOL.

I say if caught the FIRST time and over 18 you do at least 6 months in jail, if caught a second time you do 3 years, and if again you get 15 years with no parole.
That being said I tend to agree with corporal punishment offered up in other countries where they cane you.
Same thing with distracted driving, which actually kills thousands of innocent people every year.

That there is 100% awesome. Should put these photos on the front windows too.

Stealing is wrong. It's always wrong. Regardless of how some thief might delude themselves into thinking it's somehow justifiable.

A clerk worth more than $7.50 an hour would be checking those filters at checkout.

Just picked up a couple filters off the Walmart shelf … the Fram was taped shut in the interest of security … so I'm not going to cut that tape. Grabbed an M1 … instantly noticed how much heavier it was (good sign) and the box was not sealed. The ADBV looked concentric … it was a real M1 so I bought that one …

no they wouldnt. I was making 11$/hr as an employee at a store after high school, sold many purolators im sure that had a Bosch D+ or K&N in them, never checked. people would bring the clear D+ boxes up and it would either have a white purolator classic, or a mustard yellow pure one in it.
some people dont like when you mess with their stuff theyre about to buy, just like they dont like when you talk about the stuff they buy, as they feel you are judging them.

"Gee, I hope the kids at the checkout counter will be rifling through all these items I wish to purchase, opening up the boxes and looking inside for me."

If they just sold filters sealed like what comes in a masterpack, we wouldnt have an issue to begin with, we would save cardboard, and we wouldnt have to question cashiers checking.
Same with oil, if every oil came in a tamper proof box ala Havoline or came sealed like Valvoline, we wouldnt have issues with people returning used oil.
Anyway, I find it creepy when a cashier talks about or inspects my groceries or items. Theres a guy at HEB here who insists on touching each and every egg in a carton you buy just to me sure, checks the seals on every bottle or jar you buy, and its plain annoying.

This and most of the time my guess is these people use the self checkout lanes. Just another reason to stop trying to replace people. Nickel smart and dollar dumb as they say.

Y'all think your stores have it bad? They are stealing the filter boxes and leaving the filters around here!!

Those are ACC filters for the shop. They never came in a box. That Walmart either ordered too many or doesn't have an ACC. ( Auto Care Center).

Something to be said for quality packages … been years since I used Yamalube … Not only did the bottles have a snap cap and internal seal … but, it was the type you see on bleach bottles where you pick up the tab and pull it off.
Final touch right there.
