Here's what the culprit did, according to NJ.com in 1 receipt, 2 shopping carts, nearly $500K in losses for Home Depot.
Prosecutors say it worked like this:
Chalet and his conspirators filled two Home Depot shopping carts with the identical items. They would then purchase the items in the one cart using cash, or a fraudulently obtained Home Depot store credit card and hide the other cart somewhere in the store.
A few minutes later, they'd return with the receipt for the first cart and retrieve the second cart.
They would then convince a store clerk that they had returned to purchase an additional inexpensive item while convincing them that they had a valid receipt for the items in the cart.
Maybe that's why some stores put stickers on purchased items that are to big to be bagged.
Oh, in case anyone doesn't know who Slippin' Jimmy is, here's a wiki for Saul Goodman, AKA Jimmy McGill and Slippin' Jimmy, the fictional character from "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul." In his early years as Slippin' Jimmy he practiced the low level con job before he upped his game to practice law.
