Is that a game in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

"An off-duty police officer, Jerome Erwin, was shopping with his two sons when he spotted men walking out of Toys "R" Us with video games stuffed down their pant legs and waist lines. Rather than confront them, which he didn't feel safe as his sons were with him, he tailed the suspects as they drove away in a Chevy Impala.  Erwin called the county police while he was following them, which lead to the arrest of the four men. Police searched the car and found 219 video games, valued at an estimated $9,000, along with a handwritten list of other Toys "R" Us stores along the east coast." | more

Most people who have looked the other way, scared what they would get wrapped up in.
