I occasionally shop at Harbor Freight, most of the small items are inexpensive.

Maybe a 3500-watt generator stashed under his coat? A very large coat!

If he figured out how to put a rolling tool cart under his coat, let me know.

I was thinking the same thing, you can get a bench grinder for under $100 there so what they heck could he have fit in his clothes to wrack up that sort of bill!?

$1,000? Did he steal the entire store?

$1000 worth of Harbor Freight tools should last about a week before all of them are either worn out or broken.

Owning their tools is like being a kid a couple of days after Christmas when all of the Chinese toys are trashed.

Do they carry decent multimeters?
Those would be small.

A $1000? I heard he cleaned out the entire store and still didn’t have $1000 worth, then he took a couple LED bulbs out of their fixtures and that put him over the top.

The next entry from the article:

Some loose change was reported stolen from an unlocked car parked in a driveway in the 2500 block of North Brighton Place overnight on Dec. 23.

Soup to nuts.

This thief could upgrade his shoplifting operations by making his next stop Sanford & Son’s house.

How did he get out of the store without alarms being triggered?

As much as I like Harbor Freight, if I was going to steal $1,000 worth of tools, I’d steal Stanley, Dewalt, Craftsman, Husky or Kobalt. Some of HF’s tools are good, but try using them in construction...

guy was stupid to do this in chicago ... should have done it anywhere in california and taken slightly less than $1,000.00 and they wouldn’t even bother to turn him in ... just maybe ask him politely to please shoplift in some other store next time ...
