Whenever I go in there i see LP's all over with yellow shirts, by the door, walking around with their little gay ear pieces trying to act cool. I can't even browse for a second without some doosh nozzle asking me "If I need help finding anything"..Plus I am sure they have plain clothed guys..and I heard they are allowed to chase you and possibly tackle you..
This sucks ass because they leave Ps3's out in the open..I would love to grab one in my cart...go by the customer service section, have my buddy down the block and just jet with the ps3 lol

Best Buy has a no-chase rule. My friend works there. He said hes seen people grab shit an run out. Theres nothin they can do about it, they just call the cops.

While this may be the case (I've never seen security guys in there store) he is right. Many times I have seen cops at the Best Buy store and usually the person is caught. Every Best Buy I have seen is in somewhat of a mini mall with a huge parking area and open area around that. Not the best spot for getting away when cops rule the roads when the lights are on. Personally I would take my chance running in a store that has less security on there products and people that chase you. Hell by the time you start booking it out the store you have at least a minute lead before they can react. Calling the cops later will easily result in getting away before they can come close to your position if you get away from security.
IMO you should just avoid Best Buy and shoplift someplace else.

Find one by a highway/busy road or park. That would make running feasable otherwise you need a friend with a ride. Also is it really worth it for some faggy video game. If you do that take something good like a laptop or a camera.

Preferably a friend who is parked across the street away from the store so outdoor cameras wont be able to get his license plate or decent picture of him. Remember your probably not going to be able to go in the store for a couple years without fear of someone walking up to you remembering who you are. Most stores keep surveillance records for roughly a year before they dispose of them.
lol no. i've walked in there before when i needed cassettes to record some of my bands shit, grabbed a 6 pack, opened it, pocketed like 3 of them and walked out no questions asked no suspicion.
It's not impossible but it's one of the tougher places. From what I've seen there's usually 2 sets of doors you have to go through to leave, which makes it difficult to get out quickly. I've gotten Cds and Dvds just by concealing and leaving but getting a big haul isn't easy. If there's an exit you can go through quickly the best way to get something big would be a simple walk/run out.
I did read a story on another forum about lifting at Best Buy. Some bitch that worked at one said there was a big black guy who would just go in, walk over to iPods or cell phones, and snap the connector cord things off the display models. He'd take a few and leave, and no one there wanted to fuck with him because the last manager that went after someone got jacked up. Dunno if it's true or not but it's a cool story. So basically bulk up and take whatever the fuck you want.

Doubt it, guy would most likely be arrested on the spot by one of the employees calling the cops the minute he walked in the store. That would be considered Assault and if he kept showing back up (which I doubt) he would be a dumbass facing prison time.

Some tools I invested in when I was younger was pepper spray and a stun gun. Used if I was ever being chased. Stun Gun is more close range, a situation most of us thieves would not like to be in. Pepper Spray is easy to obtain and works wonders when being chased and they get within 10 feet.

I used a Playstation 3 as an example, the box isnt that big and you can sell it for CASH real quick. Also, I am not talking about petty theft where you steal a CD or small item. I have never heard of anyone stealing good shit from this place, i'm talking laptops, cameras, etc.. and they leave most of their good shit out in the open, that tells you that they have tough security. At busy times, I have seem them check almost every receipt at the door..they are like fucking hawks just waiting to pounce on your ass.

It's almost a sin how accessible the good shit is in Best Buy and no one can take advantage of it.
Well I live right down the street from one literally walking distance. I go in there a lot. I also live right down the street from a mall. If there was something that I wanted really bad from Best Buy. All that has to be is kife some stuff from the mall, sell, and then bring the earned money to Best Buy. Then proceed to buy what you want.
Quoting from earlier posts; you have to know something is up when they can just leave copies of Windows Vista Ultimate, and game systems right out in the open. Besides displaying it with an empty box.
I always wonder what the eyes in the sky lead to.

All hypothetical.
Not really stealing, but a scam I pulled the other day. I bought an xbox 360 pro package on black friday and it came with some extra games. I didn't want the games, so I didn't open them. I waited until after Christmas to try to return them, and they took them. So now I have a gift card with $119.98 on it thinking of something to buy.

Thats pretty sweet, GameCrazy only gave me $15 for them both. I'm assuming you just walked in there said you "lost your receipt" and they put it on in-store credit? Pretty sweet have done shit like that before myself.

ive stolen shit from best buy a few times no problem. but ive also gotten caught there before too. what is easier to steal from is costco. i used to work there. people would grab ps3's, wii's, whatever and just haul ass out the door. we wouldnt even call the cops and nobody would bother to chase, just have a ride out front. and once youre done stealing from the place for the year, get your money back that you paid for the membership.

Thats baddass, stealing obsolete blank cassettes and brand new ps3s are totally on the same level of security.

Back on topic: I think you shuld test the security at Best Buy and see how it is. Or you could just snatch and run but please don't be fucking stupid take pepper spray or a stun gun with you.

Best Buy definitely has more security than most places. The kiosk that the LP stands at the front door has usually 4 monitors and the joystick to turn and control all the cameras.
In a situation like this having a partner with a receipt scam can still work.
I have never heard of them chasing anyone though.
I used to steal from best buy all the time and never got caught, but I donno now. I got freaked out I was gonna get caught so I don't steal anymore, but I used to walk out with a coat full of nintendo DS' and shit, or which ever it was back then, probably not the DS. I would go sell them to another store for 50 bucks a piece and made quite a bit of money doing it. Lol I was stupid as fuck.
