Notice how the scabbard stays in his pants when he pulls the saw out. That's why he's walking funny. We found the scabbard on the next aisle in the pool supplies. I don't know why he didn't just put the saw back where it went. By leaving it where it didn't belong and the scabbard on the next aisle, we knew something was up and checked the cameras.

I dunno, there's some itches that can't be scratched without more unorthodox measures-- maybe 3/8"pico was just the thing the guy needed. At least he was considerate of your other customers and kept it discreet.
Tho' maybe next time one of your sales associates might first steer him to the Gold Bond display.

I think he was trying to molest that little saw but it bit him on the garry's and he gave up. What a dirt bag. Being in Texas maybe he should have put it under his hat.

Glad for you he didn't take of with it.

Its a shame no one caught him with the saw in his pants, so that a "struggle" might have ensued. Good vid, sorry perp!

I'm considering a new store policy that only customers wearing skinny jeans are allowed in the building. Don't worry, SawTroll should be fine . . .

My guess is that doing tree work bare foot with a machete doesn't pay well so he decided it was time for a saw. I actually saw 4 Mexicans bare foot with machetes hacking away about 40 high in a tree when i was in Laredo TX A few years ago i couldn't believe what i was seeing.

I will not comment on what I really think but, I am glad the creep left your store with his pants empty.

Unfortunately his pants weren't empty. He took a 18volt Milwaukee Impact Drill. He came in yesterday and picked up the same MS192TC and hid it behind the hedge trimmers. Not sure what his plan was. Our employees recognized him and called the police. He took off on foot. Cops lost him when he jumped in a creek a few blocks away.
