yeah so i have been doing my daily hunting for g i joes and occasionally i run across filecards with stolen joes. i have noticed that these people have been quite creative on the methods taken to build their cobra army. anyways i was just wondering who all has noticed stolen joes and which ones . the ones i have seen are the cobra stinger driver from the cobra legions pack and today i noticed a crimson guard stolen from a single pack. since i havnt opened any of my single packs , that i didnt realize how easy they open.

I once saw a Cobra 5 pack stripped bare except for a couple weapons. It was sitting on the shelf with the 15 or so other 5 packs at TRU for $29.99. The inside was mangled such that the flap didn't even close properly. I don't think the employees noticed or cared.

Saw about 10 hiss tanks(back in the JvsC era) that had the neo-viper drivers removed.This was all in the same store. Guess someone just built up their squad in one fell swoop of theivery....Not to mention...The figures were all T-crotch.:/

I have seen weapon and accessory thievery here in Houston. The figure is still there but all the weapons are gone. Not only Joe but the Elite Operations to. I haven't seen completely missing figures but I have seen the wrong figure in packages.
I swear if I see someone in the act, they will get a swift hard fist to the temple. That pisses me off. |

If I saw somebody do it I think I'd just make a citizen's arrest and notify the store security or an employee of what the thief was caught in the act of doing (the security camera's will do the rest).

I was at TRU yesterday and saw 6 comic packs; all cut at the bottom and all missing the Doc stickers. I gave them to a salaried manager (asked for him) and I got a free single carded Joe (Flash) out of it! I tried to tell him that I was just doing the right thing but he insisted I take it for a "job well done".

Good job! Also good to hear some managers actually recognize a problem and want to make customers happy.

I really hate to admit it but when I young I can think of once when I re-armed my IG Destro with a 92 destro rifle that I obtained by cracking the seal along the bottom of the card. And once I changed a price tag on a discount bin, there were two joe figures in it, 91 low light and a python patrol officer (or trooper cant remember BUT...) low light was 'marked down' to 3.99 and the python patrol figure was marked down to '.99' so I figured might aswell do the old switcharoo with the pricetag. The whole reason I didnt want the python patrol figure was because whichever one it was officer or trooper was packed on the wrong card! It was right when I was figuring MOC was the way to go but thought the error would be a bad investment. I sometimes I wish I had scooped it up but Ive since survived...

Technically, the store can't do a damn thing until the merchandise left the store with the perp. They can't make an arrest until then.
