Bob... hate those scammers. I looked at 3 pcs of exquisite carnival glass at an ES with prices from $50-75. Too rich for my blood but I did spend time handling them. Saw a man put the 3 pcs in a box and cover them with odd junk from cellar and offer $25 for the box. I said a bit too loudly "Oh, if I thought the carnival glass was that cheap, I would have grabbed it!" The cashier then picked through the box as the guy walked out glaring at me. I was afraid to leave.
Really, though... the pcs would have been negotiated for something fair and sold on Ebay for double that or more. Why cheat? That doesn't get you a good seat at the Heavenly Buffet! I've seen people pocket $1 items at my yard sales and believe me, I say loudly "Did you forget to pay for the whatever?" It embarasses them and me but I don't care. I hate a skeeve.
But, when I saw a young mom grab a pack of chicken from my grocery cart as I was struggling with the trunk lock I said nothing. She must have been hungry and had her kids in the car. I would have given her the cartful if I thought fast enough. And I'll bet she suffered some anguish for having done it.
It's a different story when you do it because you're a sleezeball.
