I was at Wal-Mart today (carrying, btw). I purchased and paid for what I needed. Then while I walked out I came upon one of those Pet ID machines. So, I decided to get a new tag for one of my dogs. I had some trouble getting it to read my debit card, but finally got it working. So, after I got all the info entered and the machine started engraving the tag I turned and noticed that someone stole my merchandise!! Must have just walked right up to the cart and started walking as if it were theirs. I couldn't believe it!
Here I've been thinking that I've been hyper-aware of surroundings. Boy, it really got me thinking you can NEVER let your guard down.
There are lots of distractions at Wally World. That place is usually packed. One time a left a cart about 5 ft from me with some merchandise in it. Within 60 seconds the cart was gone. Somebody took my stuff out, set it on the shelf and walked off with the cart. They knew what they did, but didn't care.
It's a lesson to all of us that if you're busy concentrating on something, it's good to have somebody else watching your back/stuff.
