Saw a man walk right out of Harbor Freight with a pressure washer...

[Missourian]

When to Springfield today...closest Harbor Freight...and while I was checking out in the middle of the afternoon, a man walked right out the door with a pressure washer without paying. No license plate.

Cashier says it happens every day. Criminals know they have a policy of not calling the police, only HF loss prevention.

Sad state of affairs.

Depending on the value of said product that was pinched and state laws, he could either be charged with petit or grand larceny.

Maybe he pre-paid for the thing. You can't pick up large items in Harbor Freight and walk out the door. You pick up a chit and show it to the cashier and they get the item out of stock.

Well, I have worse. I saw a guy walking down the street with a large screen TV. It looked brand spanking new, perhaps a floor model I don't know. He was just walking with it, went into a bank to get some air as it was hot out, everyone was looking at him with curiousity. He left and ducked down a side street.

But for 13% of the population, you guys are really holding your own!

Unfortunately no, it was a theft. Three employees went out to get the license plate.

They told the cashier he didn't have a plate and to call it in.

At this HF, they bring everything up front to the register after you pay, or out the side door if it's a large item.

In Springfield I'm sure that is true.

Springfield used to be a nice place...but like most cities, it's just a matter of time until it goes downhill.

Springfield Missouri? It's a shithole. Always has been.

Nah. Used to be nice. Like a really big small town. Mrs. MO grew up there.

Sadly in some places that is now the norm.

BS. But we all know why you're making this claim.

Not just me.
