Buy a laptop and pay the extra money for the best warranty. Right before the warranty is up, short circuit the main board and send it in; by this time they probably don’t make that model any more. Demand a machine of equal value and warranty in case they try to give you some POS replacement. Never pay for a new laptop again.
I can vouch for this albeit i didn't do it to run a scam, my lappie legitimately broke down and dell sent me the closest model they had to my old laptop. Not only did i get a new machine, it's CPU was twice as strong, it came with a DVD burner and a bunch of other media features (like an SD card reader), a larger and better screen, better battery, etc. I didn't pay a dime for it either because i had the type of warranty that covered any type of damage for free with replacement parts.

I've always wanted to do something like this:
Even if you got caught you and your mark would have great stories and I think most people would go easy on you just because it's so memorable

Good idea assuming noone sees you rolling a big-ass tv box around the checkout.
theres not just one checkout you could have bought at it, you could have bought it at any one of their 20 checkouts in the middle of the store.... and in case if your worried if someone recognizes you go out the back entrance and you wont even see anyone that you did the first time...

Walmart does have loss prevention, and they pay attention to things like this ^. It's not worth the risk of getting caught, they don't pay attention to petty shit.

Go to any gas station that's hiring, and try your best to get the graveyard shift. Work there for a week or so, and just do your job, which is easy as fuck.
After a week, while working the nightshift, have your friend come in wearing a ski-mask and pretend to hold you up. You act scared for the camera, give your friend the money.
Give your friend a good head start to get away and get to safety, but don't wait too long, then call the police. File your report blah-blah. If they ask what took you so long to call, just say you were scared and not thinking straight and didn't think to call the police right away.
After your done, meet your friend somewhere, split the profits, and enjoy.

I used to be a klepto. I also needed money for weed, as I would smoke about a quarter of hydro every three days.
This worked well.
Go to Nordstroms, or an expensive department store. Dress VERY nicely, and never go alone, always have a pack of friends who are always dressed nice.
Take a bunch of clothes into the dressing rooms. Like, a BUNCH. And make sure it's some nice ass designer shit, like NAME BRAND Lamb, Lucky, etc. These are always in demand, and if you know girls with money they will jump at the chance to buy them from you. Normal, non-brand clothes won't work. While you're in the dressing room, put all the new clothes on under your own clothes. Stuff your bra, underwear, w/e.
Buy something stupid, like a t-shirt and a necklace so they don't suspect a thing. If they do catch you, they will come after you when you leave, so leave with the pack and SPLIT APART. This happened to me once, when we split I just dumped everything off in the bathroom and left the mall.
Steal about $500 of clothes
Unload them on someone for around $100
Buy a sack
Go to the park and have a good time with your nice new clothes and your fluffy green weed.

All you have to do is spend 10 minutes each day going to this site, click the links they tell you to. You get paid for every click.
Make sure you click the auto login button when you sign up - this will save you from taking time logging in!
It only takes me about 3 minutes or less now, I just quickly click the sites. Do this once a day (they won't let you do it more than once a day) and you make about £20 a month.
They pay you however you like as well! Easy way to get a bit of extra wonga!

I'm amazed at what you guys will do for a few hundred dollars.

There are hotels with complementarity breakfasts that don't ask any questions you can just walk in and start eating.
Back in my younger years I'd rob vending machines, donate plasma, return stuff at walmart without anything in the package, sell stolen candy door to door, take copper from abandoned buildings and scrap it and cash in fake coinstar receipts.
That's all I can remember right now I'm sure there's more though... I realized stealing is gay btw unless it's from wal mart.

200 dollars? Maybe on a really slow night. Hell, the working for a week thing isn't even necessary. You could even have your friend rob you the night you get hired.

I saw some homeless lady doing this at a marijuana festival. She was walking around with a trash can with a big pot leaf drawn on it asking for donations. People were giving here money because they thought it was going to NORMAL or something but I'm sure she was just keeping all the money.

Fucking awsome thread, makes me want to go out and try some of the walmart shits.... 
I havent done many "scams" or anything. In middle school Id steal lighters and porno mags for my friends (considered selling the stolen lighters at half price but never bothered). Also shoplifted a lot of candy, and a bracelet for a girl once. Got some free coke from a vending machine a few times. Free sample tours at Costo and Trader Joes. For the past half year Ive been going to Jack in the Box to use the free internet (guess where Im at right now), bought a plastic cup to get free soda refills and never actually bought any food. The cup is gettin old and worn out, getting hard to see that it is infact a Jack in the Box cup (soon its just gonna be just a big white cup...). Definately gotta try some Walmart stuff though
