I was at Dick's looking for odds and ends accessories earlier today, and I saw that some merchandise had warning tags saying that the items were electronically monitored against shoplifting.

This is normally nothing unusual, except that the items in question were 800 pound safes.  

Upon seeing that, my brain hemmoraged, and I had to be taken out of the store on a stretcher.

Theft of large items is actually very common.  The logic being somebody would never be so brazen to openly steal something that big. So nobody questions somebody moving a large item out the door.

   Yep , that's right . When my wife worked at WalMart , she said that there were several instances where someone loaded a large item on a cart or dolly and tried to walk right out .  I think the door Nazi confronted them and they hauled ass without the loot .  Some thieves are pretty gutsy .

I don't know about the store he was in, but at my nearest Dick's the safes are on the 2nd floor.  So to get one out of the store you'd either have to send it down an escelator or take it into the mall and I'd imagine either of these would cause quite a bit of suspicion.
