I do put my coat over my things though.
This is what DH and I do. PLUS one of us has eyes on the cart at all times. We've had too many close calls. Cart thieves (well...attempted car thievs) and gift thieves alike.

At my BB this girl kept on flirting with everyone so that she can get one of the laptop tickets, then she was arguing with me that she needs the laptop more then me. She like im going to law school what r u doing with your life? and i told her i go to medic school lol. oh yeah and i was lucky enough to get two of the laptops, one toshiba and the other hp, so she came up to me had the nerve to ask me what i was doing with two laptops.

Kinda the opposite here. Years ago my wife and sister went shopping together in my sister's car. My wife had filled a cart and paid for everything before my sister was done shopping, so she got the keys from my sister and unloaded everything into the trunk of the car then went back in to help. When they had finally finished and got back to the car, my wife realized she hadn't put her treasures into my sister's car at all. It was an identical model and color car that had been parked nearby. So much for unique keys! My wife robbed herself and played secret Santa with some strangers. I just wish I could have seen the reaction on their faces when they found the stuff magically deposited into the locked trunk of their car!

I always bring a huge Laundry bag and keep my stuff in it until I get to the Reg. It also helps to grab the doorbuster item because I don't have to worry about getting close to the piles with a cart.

That's a great idea! I may have to try that this year.

My hubby and I saw this happen, thank goodness my hubby is a "good guy". At WM, a few years ago, a guy and his wife got, what looked like the last, of the great TVs. The guy had his wife sit on the box while he went to get a cart big enough. A sales guy said, while we were looking at other TVs, that they had more of the big deals in back and he would bring them out. While we were waiting, another guy came up, picked the lady up and threw her like a toy. When he went to grab the TV, my hubby stepped in and "detained" the guy for security. I think that the jerk was lucky my hubby got him before the lady's hubby did.

Well I saw this happen last year. I was at Kohls at the Jewelry counter waiting for my number to be called. I stood directly in front of the display where the product was that I wanted so that no one else would buy it first. Good thing I did, the girl who was a few numbers before me was finally called (we had waited about an hour) and she told the employee which display case it was in. Well someone else had already bought her item. She was so mad. Not really stealing, but kinda the same thing. especially after waiting an hour.
I know I paniced every time she opened up the display case where my purchase was. I got both of mine, so I was happy.
after reading all of these, have you noticed that it's a lot of elderly people doing the theiving?!

I haven't had it happen to me but I saw this lady take a toy out of a toddler's hands and say "I wanted that." I think it was his grandma that was with him and she was just stunned. I said "You've got to be kidding me" and jerked it back out of the ladies hand and handed it back to the boy. She looked like she was going to start something with me, but I must have looked pretty PO'd cuz she just turned around and left. Grandma just looked at me and siad, "I can't believe she did that. I'm glad you were here cuz I was too stunned to do anything."
