I just thought this was kind of funny
I did not even know walmart had tv for $4.88? So how you can do a bate and switch of a price is beyond me. I think most people would have gotten away with it though.
MONROE, La. - While Wal-Mart is known for dropping its prices, one West Monroe man took the ad campaign seriously when he dropped the price of a plasma television from $984 to $4.88. Police arrested Chandon L. Simms, 23, on Tuesday at the retail store on a charge of felony theft.

According to police reports, Simms carried a 42-inch Sanyo Plasma TV to a self-checkout aisle after switching the original price tag of $984 with one for only $4.88. Wal-Mart Loss Prevention officers witnessed the alleged transaction and called police.
When the store officers stopped Simms on his way out the door, he produced a receipt for a television purchased at the West Monroe Wal-Mart, authorities said.
Simms told officers that he purchased a TV from the West Monroe store and planned to returrn that one and keep the one he purchased for only $4.88 from the Monroe store. He was then arrested and booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center.

People just make me sick sometimes, always trying to stick it to THE MAN.
DH works @ the local mall and you wouldn't believe the people who steal. He'd have a nice older couple in and he'd ask how they were doing and the woman would say "I'm Blessed." Then she'd make off with 2 pairs of shoes.
