Police in Arizona thought they were busting an ordinary case of a fraudulent return this week until some digging discovered the same 23-year-old man has perpetrated the scheme at thousands of Walmart stores across the country.
Police in Yuma, Arizona, said they responded to a case of a fraudulent return on Wednesday afternoon in which a person bringing a computer back to Walmart had allegedly removed parts of the computer before putting it back in the box and taking it back to the store.
Upon investigation, the Yuma Police Department found out the same man had pulled the same scheme at a different Walmart earlier in the day.
Thomas Frudaker, 23, was arrested and booked into Yuma County Adult Detention Facility.

See my reply to the article about working age men who are “out of the work force” - I said they probably were engaging in some sort of money-making activities.
Looks like I was right....
If he would have done this here in California, the Police would not have even issued him a Ticket, Hell they wouldn’t even respond to the store for this.
Or if homo, to Fraudpacker
Makes sense, because there’s no way in hell a regular working man can have enough time on his hands to do this.
Fudraker.
Agree it’s a lawless shit hole state.
Walmart probably has the costs for processing returns involved in the figures as well as the product cost. It ads up fast.
I got a broken blind in a returned blind box from Walmart. I say death penalty for the @$$holes that do this.
I am confused by this story. Did he buy all the computers and then return them missing parts? Was this just malicious or was he somehow making money off of it? Seems like a lot of details were left out.
If you do it, do it like a boss!
My guess, he was selling the parts he took out of the computers.
This kid’s obviously sufficiently industrious that, if he had bent his efforts to it, he could have been a Democrat senator or congressman by now.
BS!
He took out the parts the returned the shell, and then sold the parts separately.
Hahaha. Yeah definitely.
I was shopping in a Walmart in Yuma Arizona
