This happened at a North Carolina Walmart earlier in the week. The thief was not caught.
CCTV footage shows that the suspect is wiping his fingerprints off the doorsknobs while they stuff iPads and iPhones into their clothes.
Surprisingly, the thief returned with a suitcase that he filled with electronic equipment before he left.
Gastonia Police officer Rick Goodale said: “It appears the suspect put the items under clothing and realized, ‘This is going to be way too easy to see what I’m doing,’ so at that point, they came up with a second plan that they had so many items that they found some other way to get those items out of the store,”
Serial numbers were used to identify the electronic devices that were taken. This should allow you to easily track them down, even if they are being sold illegally.
Goodale said: “When we have cases like this, especially this high dollar amount, the companies they aren’t going to just absorb that loss.
“They’re going to pass it down to the consumer, so these types of cases do affect all of us.”

Steven Francis (51), was arrested for stealing clothing worth more than $200 from Gainesville’s store.
Francis, however, claimed that the items could not be stolen because he owns the grocery store chain valued at multibillion dollars.
According to reports, he told police that he recently took over Walmart following a hostile takeover.WCJB.
Francis was later arrested for making a bold claim that did not convince police.
Walmart has never been hostile to any kind of takeover.
