I work at a retail video/music/games etc. store that is pretty much a huge target for theft in my town. Last night I discovered a bunch of shattered hard platcic security cases, that looked like someone had hit them with a hammer, hidden amongst other dvds. All of them were various 70's porn films. About an hour later I hear a noise like someone is scraping a piece of plastic with a knife and come across a guy on his hands and knees cracking open a case with a screwdriver. At a lack of words all I said was:
me: "So whats going on here man?"
idiot: (huge deer in headlights pause) ....nothing
me: "doesn't look like nothing"
idiot: " I was testing the durability of these cases"
I then asked him to follow me, and I called the police, to which he began to run and was captured about 30 feet in front of the store. when brought back in, he told the cop:
idiot: "I was just so exited to see this movie, I accidentally cracked it open with my bare hands"
cop: "what about the screwdriver?"
idiot: "what screwdriver?"
the movie in question was a 70's porn (also the guy was 18, so it was like he had a creepy fetish) so the guy unintentionally made himself look like an uber-perv, and his story kept changing.....ugggh
" I was testing the durability of these cases" indeed
. I filled about 1/3 of the handle (at the top. The part that I strike people with) with lead to give it some weight. It had a nice grip and was very easy to use (bats take too long to swing).
