Can you believe this ?

About 3 weeks ago, I observed 3 burly looking dudes ripping off Toys R Us by buying the GL dioramas and bringing them out to a SUV and opening them, taking out the cars, then replacing them with HW cars and then another one would take them back in and get the money back... To make a long story short, I got them busted and the police were called and they went to jail... I posted this on HT and was labeled as a HERO... I sure came close to getting the parking lot wiped up with my ass... these dudes were big, mean, nasty, and ugly... I was never, never sooooo glad to see the police in my life...
Alot of this crap goes on and it ticks me off big time...
Caught another deal as posted below !!!

  I was working in eastern Ohio today, about an hour and a halfs drive east of my house... At lunch time I went in to a TRU I passed on the way to the job and spotter this cool, cool Greenlight diorama !!!









Sorry about the pics, I took them with my phone...
What kind if crap is this ?  This isn't even a dollar HW casting some jerk replaced the camper that was originally in this box with... I can't believe these idiots are getting away with this crap... Looks like Sgt. Stangfreak is gonna have to stake this place out !!!
(I was awarded this badge over at Hobby Talk) !!!

 

I took it up to the service desk and reported this crime... The cashier said she would take care of it... Yeah, Right !!!
On the way home from work I stopped back in and there it was back on the shelf !!!
I took it back up to the same cashier and told her I liked how she took care of S@#T... and that's the last time I would shop in her store !!! Got a great kick out of that !!!

Good job Steve!  The old swapperoo is pretty common here too, but nothing like that.  Your story sounded familiar, and sure enough, I had read it on HWC.  Someone saw you had posted it on HT and then posted it on HWC.  If you're a member of HWC, check it out.

WTG Steve,I think stores should have no diecast return policy
plain and simple and it would stop this stupid ness.
If they want to return a diecast they have to send it back to
the company fo a refund or exchange.
