smart criminals dont steal from home depot, their products are way too heavy and bulky.

i prefer diamond heists, fuck the power drills.

Good point. Their employees walking away with power tools aren't the sharpest tools. But the company still blames the customer.

This shit will probably work well unless the employees can activate their stolen tools themselves. But then the store will be able to see more are activated than sold.

Meanwhile, I can still get non-playskool tools from Ace, DoItBest, and niche tool shops (which can also repair tools, and keep their shit in stock).
