Blind Bag Burglary!

[Goddess Daine]

So I was in Walmart Monday evening and I noticed that they had Wave 3 Blind Bags in. I was thinking "Cool!" Then I noticed the travisty... out of the 15 bags in the box, 11 were open and the ponies stolen, 2 more were open with the pony still in them (I figured they were doubles of ones they already stole), and 3 more were still closed. So I bought the 3 sealed ones and 1 of the open ones. When I checked out, I told the cashier about it and she said she'd let someone know and have it taken care of.

So I went back last night and noticed that the same empty Wave 3 bags were still there, but now there were several of the Wave 1 bags open and empty. There were a few of the ponies laying in the bottom of the box, too.

I couldn't believe that someone would steal them. Some people just have no morals what so ever. I wonder if Walmart is going to do anything about it or not. I know there's really nothing they can do about the "robbers" but maybe they can keep a better eye on things. They have cameras, for goodness sake!

Same down here, only I'm pretty sure that they were wave 1 in my walmart ... I grabbed two of the four that were still sealed. It's disgusting that people do that stuff.... and then have the nerve to wonder why prices climb.

Yes that's unfortunately a very common problem ;~; and it's sad because they're only hurting themselves! If this becomes a big enough problem stores may just decide to stop stocking blind bags so they're not bleeding money =(

I have seen opened bags and missing ponies of Wave 1 in almost every Walmart. Its ridiculous! I also saw a Monster High Cleo with her hands stolen! Someone actually opened the box and took her hands off! What is wrong with people?

It is absolutely amazing what people manage to steal at Walmart. I worked there and I once found a box for a Wii remote! How the heck did they 1. get it from the locked pegs and 2. manage to get it out of the box without anyone noticing? Many do it at night when there are fewer people and drop the packaging in a different part of the store behind other merchandise. I even found an empty package of little girls underwear.

Its like that at our walmart too. but now they are near the cashiers. Is the Wave 3 in the USA now?

Lol, I've never seen anything stolen from mlp.
My brother used to work at Wal-Mart and told me that people steal things like beer and alcohol. They one time stole toilet paper! xD

It is sad but true :( I work in retail and people steal anything to everything. Kids will open toys and take them. They don't know what they are doing and parents won't buy them. Some girl opened up a disney figurine set and sole 1/3 the package. I saw her with them in hand but I was in one part of the store and the mom didn't even take them away, not to mention my co-workers did not notice!

People steal food, batteries (2 from a pack) and yes toilet paper from the bathroom! Some stores lock it up! They should move the blind bags to the front where there is high traffic.

I've seen this too!

I saw some bags that were opened but ponies were still there (I guess they didn't want repeats), others with missing ponies. I also saw some missing mini Lalaloopsies and other toys. It is awful.

I know for a fact Walmart and Kmart both have security cameras, and they DO put you in jail if they catch you. It isn't worth going to jail for. I hope no one on this forum would do that.

I feel the same way about illegal drug use, even if it's just marijuana. It's not worth going to jail for! I can't believe people risk jail just so they can get high.
