Thieves post stolen DVDs to themselves to avoid being caught
Quote:
Thieves at an Asda branch have been stuffing DVDs and other stolen goods into envelopes and posting them home to themselves using the in-store Post Office.
The supermarket in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, has been forced to move its padded envelopes off the shelves and behind a desk to stop the criminals’ ploy.

“It’s because people used to pick them off the shelves, stuff DVDs and such like into them from the store, then post it back to themselves,” he wrote.
“So, stealing without taking anything out of the store. The Post Office then takes it away without you going through the alarm gate.
Inspiring though.
