Reader Charlton went to Best Buy to buy some games. He successfully accomplished his task, only to find that opening his purchase was going to be a little difficult.

Charlton says:

From the looks, the lack of removing the security boxes Best Buy suffers the same symptoms as our deranged friend Target! This also gave me great practice on how to open them if I ever want a five finger discount!

I wasn’t paying attention when the cashier did it. The kicker was the alarms didn’t go off when I walked through the door! I would have called and reported it to them but they are 30 minutes away and I wasn’t going to drive back to return two cheap cases.

It’s probably best that you didn’t bother, otherwise our headline would probably be “Best Buy Accuses You Of Stealing Games.”
