Just before Christmas, my son and I were in the local Home Depot, going through the clearance rack at the back of the electrical department. A guy comes up nearby and waits a few minutes. His phone rings, he picks up some high-dollar power tools from his basket, and dashes out the fire escape door. A couple minutes later, an employee comes up and resets the alarm on the door and walks away, like Just Another Thursday. The phone call must have been the signal that the accomplice was next to the door.
