I really need a bicycle, and I don't have any cash. I do however have a decent pair of bolt cutters.
how bad would it be if i went and Stole a bike from walmart? I mean, i think that i could pull it off...... im really just concerned about the moral issue. Usually i have no problem stealing from large chain stores, especially walmart as they put small business out of business and take up about 11% of the us GDP

i usually have no qualms about stealing from wal-mart either.. but it's always small things worth less than like 10 bucks... i'm not sure how i'd feel about the bicycle thing. i mean, it certainly could be worse. it is only wal-mart afterall... but still. eh...

if you can get away with it, do it. fuck walmart.

Do it man! Just walk it up to the front like you are buying it and head for the door. If anyone tries to stop you...well...you have a getaway vehicle! Make sure you get rid of any tags or anything that will prevent you from riding it away. Know where you are going to go if you get chased.
Good luck!

nah id have to be crafty about it, that i actually happen to be good at.
I would take the bike and 3 bike locks, and bring it all out to the garden dept which is fenced in, but open from the top.
I would then lock each of the wheels and the frame to the strongest piece of metal out in that garden area, and then steal the keys.
Id come back at night when it was closed, dressed in black, unlock the fucker, throw it over the fence, and ride home

Good luck with that. An easier way would be to simply steal a bike from someone who leaves it outside.

if you live near any major city there should be a bicycle co-op of sorts run by freaks who will probably let you build a bicycle from their collection of parts in exchange for a few hours of shop work or something...

i forgot to add, the major benefit of doing this is that you will likely end up with a nice bike with quality components as opposed to some shit that might just shatter the second you show it any real athleticism.

Yeah I think the odds of him getting busted doing this are pretty good. I don't know how it is there but around here the cops patrol around (cruise right through the parking lot) Wal-Mart all throughout the night.

I think if you steal anything that cost more than $500 its grand theft,which is a felony.Ive never really seen any $500 bicycles at walmart.Just don't get caught.

I don't think walmart would stop ordering from a particular supplier because one of their bikes got stolen as opposed to another brand bike.
walmart has already paid for and taken ownership of the merchandise upon arrival - once its in the doors it's WalMart inventory and therefore not a threat to the supplier (as to if it gets stolen).
so steal whatever is easiest!

i personally would go to an upper-middle-class neighborhood and steal one off the lawn of some house that has shit all over the yard, who cleary does not take care of their shit - especially if its like a teenagers bike that way you know their parents will just buy them a new/better one.

i think we all know that stealing a bike from walmart is the worst thing a human could possibly do and you will rot in hell for such an act against god and all of the goodness in humanity.

Wal-Mart does have a lot of cameras watching the parking lots. I think you were talking about getting one of the ones they chain up outside right? That would be safer than getting one from inside the store. As for morals...fuck morals. Its Wal-Mart!!! Stick it to the man!!!

Sort of...
Walmart would have a buy back agreement for larger ticket items like bicycles.
What this means is that the supplier isn't paid essentially until the item is sold.
For stolen items Wal Mart and the Supplier both eat the cost.

I should clarify a buyback:
its when if your product stays on the shelf/lot for x months the supplier agrees to buy it back at lets say 98% of cost

Don't do that. Stealing from a huge company is bad enough, but stealing an individual's bike is a really nasty thing to do.

here's the flaw with your plan:
while you would be able to chain that shit up outside and come back later dressed in black (so the cameras cant identify you)
all they'd have to do is look at the tape from that day - see who fucking walked a bike into the garden center and whammy - you're arrested!

Just make sure its not a walmart you frequent.
I got reminded today by some asshole that works at tescos that I'm banned, after I got 'caught' by this shelf stacking piece of shit putting a chocolate bar in my pocket (I was really high). He then literally ran to his manager to tell him (this was about 3-4 months ago)
Earlier today I saw that prick in this mall quite a distance away from tescos.. however, that prick ditched his friends to follow me to tescos (where I was legitimately purchasing some apple juice - I gave up shoplifting) just as I was queing up to pay for it he took it out of my hands and told me that I was banned.. He wasn't even working.. he was casually dressed 
I mean what the fuck; If he was a manger or something.. then I'd understand his motives, but this prick purposely went out of his way just to inconvenience me (I had to walk an extra 2 mins to other local supermarket). I imagine this same goon is one of those red blooded, alcohol drinking, hippie bashing, homophobic, racist pieces of shit as well.
It just pissed me off to what degree this knob cheese went out of his way to attempt and annoy me.. As I was walking out I did manage to call him a prick and give him the finger, and then continued to the other super market, to buy some tasty apply juice for exactly the same price (competition ftw).
Moral of the story; I always thought shelf stackers were too apathetic to give a shit about their job.. but some of them are goons.. When I used to steal shit I only really avoided surveillance and security guards.. as most shelf stackers are people of my own age (who happen to be failures at life), but every now and then.. you come across a complete and utter prick.

Curveball! Wal-Mart doesn't close... and neither do the cameras. This entire plan is a bust waiting to happen. Quite honestly, borrow from a friend or do without... lawnjacking is for fuckheads. I had two bikes stolen from me earlier in life and I was certainly not pleased.

someone stole my bike... i was moving into this house and my bike came in the last haul from my old apt... so i just leaned it against our fence to the back yard... next morning it was gone. which is funny cuz whoever stole it didn't get far since it had two flat tires... meh it was probably pawned for meth money anyway

I am not going to say one way or the other if it is bad to steal from walmart but I will say this:
If you have to ask an internet forum what your morals are, well.....

heres a story for you.. when I was a kid, hippies loved hearing stories
one brother bought a truck, brand new. a 2006 Chevy 2500 HD with a gas engine, a 460. sweet truck. he owned his home, and he took out a loan to remodel. he has no job.. some dumb decisions landed $500,000 of his cash in the hands of a crook whom had made it vanish. he burned through his savings trying to impress some folks.
the bills come due, he discovers his broker has swindled him and has only a few months before he loses his home, he has no income. he's flat busted. he trades the truck for $5000 to put toward the note and in turn receives a much older truck, valued at about $1500
acouple of monhths later he sells his house to one of his family and makes $30k out of the deal, his other brother has found him a place to live that's free of rent, a place to get started again. if he improves the land with a structure to apply his craft he can own the land it sits on, 3 acres, free and with a clear deed.
You've already guessed that he's spent the money, no improvement, but a selfless act and the trust and respect he managed to earn has allowed him a place to live for the remainder of his days. more of a nuisance than a burden to his family but a strain none the less.
you remind me of this brother, take from this what you will, my advice to you is the same advice I gave to him. stop starting over. stand up and make your life. stop working so hard to achieve nothing.

don't steal off someone's lawn. that's fucked. my bike was stolen as a kid - like age 11. my mom couldn't afford to buy me another one. that was the last bike i had until i was able to afford my own in college recently.

steal from the corporation. i'd say firebomb their fucking building too but i guess that's a little over the line. as a diplomat i say steal one bike and burn the rest with gasoline.

That's not the issue. The issue is whether or not you want a fellow Shroomerite locked up, which I don't. I have felt the bitterness of Wal-Mart's security, but luckily I was 12 at the time. If you're over 18, which this board requires you to be, then you are shit out of luck. Plain and simple. You may not get jail time, but you sure as hell won't get jobs easily.

well i didn't really stop to tink about all the security cameras. Plan B: get a slick vintage schwinn for mighty cheap from some thrift store, and all the ladies will coooome a runnin!

Just don't try to ride it out of the store. I've seen some guy try this at another big chain supermarket, and the security deactivated the doors...
Needless to say, he was apprehended after he crashed.

get the bike ready and pull the fire alarm. couldn't hurt but it would make it that much more important that you don't get caught.

ahhhh, it's all so clear now. for some reason all those little options under post aren't loading for me, just blank little ovals, like an internet chicken was patrolling and laying an egg every step...

wow there's a lot of people on this thread that have no experience with stealing
Quote:
meams said: here's the flaw with your plan:
while you would be able to chain that shit up outside and come back later dressed in black (so the cameras cant identify you)
all they'd have to do is look at the tape from that day - see who fucking walked a bike into the garden center and whammy - you're arrested!
no
they probably won't review the cameras for the previous day
if they do, what are they going to do? hand it over to the police so they can have their computers analyze it and match it with mugshots? no - they don't give a shit about a fucking wal-mart bike. MAYBE if you robbed a bank and got away with a significant amount of money
all the other people sayin stuff like "looks like a good chance you'll get busted" are just too scared to try this stuff and their perceptions are limited because of it. that's how most security systems are designed, to scare you into not doing it. (a "sloman's shield" sign on your front lawn is faaar more effective than the actual house security system)
the only problem i can see with your plan is they might have a pair of lock-cutters. if not, sounds like a good plan to me
save your morals for when it matters, it will be obvious what the correct choice will be then

lol, you'll get caught,
over a horseshit $79 bike.
you could find one in a dumpster,
or buy one at a thrift store.
a few dollars spent is much better than sacrificing your dignity.
