Stores sometimes have security locks on electronic stuff, like Walgreens and CVS.

When I started my career in IT, I was a humble tech at a big box computer store. We got ripped off all the time, and it pissed us employees off no end.

One day the security lock alarm goes off in the laptop section and some dude comes striding out with a laptop stuffed down the front of his pants. It wasn't even subtle; there was this huge, rectangular bulge and a screaming alarm right behind him

Store policy was 'let it go, or YOU'RE in trouble'. The whole floor staff almost said 'screw it' and went sprinting after the guy, straight out the door. One of our guys had been a track star and ran this guy down and held him for the cops. Felt good. :-)
