If you had “first 2026 post would be a Home Depot shoplifter” on your bingo card……. Congrats! I’m starting to think the local shoplifter’s union #764 actually holds their union hall meetings in the back aisle of The Home Depot and their union due payment is a stolen Hone Depot product🙄. Anyways, the gentleman below is wanted for questioning. Why? Video has him sticking a $300 DeWalt Angle Grinder down his pants leaving the store without paying. I don’t know. Got to wonder about a man who would stick a grinder down his pants. Due to it being Sunday, I have decided to leave this post as clean and professional as one can make it especially when trying to describe the said event. It was not easy and I am currently biting my tongue.
