So earlier this morning I went to Walmart for my weekly visit/ figure hunt and went straight to the figures this time. I saw Battle packs 16 Orton/ Christian and Big Show/ Del Rio, which I thought was interesting since I haven't heard of them being found at WalMart yet, and my Walmart was still on bp 13 last week, however I passed as I was not interested in either. I saw the Elite 11 Christian which had been sitting there for the passed 4 months, maybe even more, and 2 Sheamus' however the Sheamus in the backs box was torn up on the side and the figure was also to the side as if someone had attempted to remove it. I moved the figure back into position only to find that both the head and crown were missing. Someone had taking off the head/ crown of the Sheamus while it was in the package and I'm guessing when it was still in the store. I am wondering how someone could even get away with this and has anyone else seen something like this. Sorry I don't have any pics of it unfortunately.

Sorry I don't have any pics of it unfortunately. well i saw 2 flexforce figures on TRU today 2 CM PUNKS and they got the chair stolen. I was like come on how can people do this stuff. Oh and something off topic i was looking at the bikes and saw that some one stoled like 5 hotwheels cars and was like oh come on d**** people steal stuff i so much hate that. if i ever put a toy store in the future i will keep everthing on the back and will have a big book so people can look and i get the stuff so they dont steal them. |

That is lower than low, some people are lowlife scum. It's a 15 whatever figure, how can they collect figures yet they can't just buy it.

i saw the same thing at the same walmart. that sheamus has been there for a while - at least a few weeks. so yeah, i can vouch for him at least. still bogus though. ah well.
side note: isn't our area terrible? i got Sin Cara/Bryan 2pack at WM in East Greenbush 2 weeks ago, but before that the last fig i bought at retail was in FEB! yikes.

unless you have stolen or have been a thief before, you really cannot justify it.
unfortunately i went through a "dark" phase and became a pretty skilled thief. its just that thought that goes through your head:
"if no one sees me........i get this for FREE."
its the FREE part that is alluring. we live in a society where cash is king. you have to pay for everything, everything has a cost. if you are short on cash or frankly have NO income, theft can become a way of life.
like that sheamus fig. now the thief is up one crown he didnt have before. he could sell it, do whatever he pleases because it is HIS crown now.
i guess it is also being selfishly blind. you really dont even care that the store will be out money, some one will have a crown-less sheamus. all thats known is that you felt a victory.

Not true, someone will have a headless Sheamus that is also missing the crown |
