Hey dude. Looks like we visit the same ones. I used to live closer to the Kingstowne one, but the one in Burke is now the closest for me. I'm glad the Burke one keeps them out in the open (also like the self checkout lanes, which I like to use at Home Depot and Giant Food too).

Howdy neighbor I really like the Burke Walmart as it is very clean and orderly. The Kingstowne WM is a POS; the electronics dept. looks like a war zone. I just picked up the Godfather Trilogy from the Burke WM for $45. They seem to have some good deals on DVDs and their electronics dept. is well organized.

Local WM still leave out the DVDs on the shelf. However, they also attach additional anti-theft devices to the box sets.

Very true.

Wow!
Even theives strive to aim high. Not like those looser thieves that take a video game or a movie. This guy steals a BIGscreen TV and had gotten away with it. How did he do it?

He'd probably also just stolen a pair of WalMart's famous FADED GLORY extra baggy, ballooned seat, acid wash, 48" jeans.

Still... that's a pretty big ticket item to shove down your pants.

Stealing DVDs like that not only happens at Wal-Mart but many other retailers.
