I remember them doing it in Atlanta when I lived there (theives used to just drive their car right through the front doors)...

And even then, smash-and-grabs are small change compared to the scammers/embezzelers... I had a distant relative involved in a Wal-Mart scam that netted her $60,000 before management got wise -- and you know with all their cheap crap, $60,000 could buy out the entire warehouse twice over...
