Try to leave Home Depot without checking out...

If you try to leave this Home Depot without checking out, your cart won’t make it very far

The problem with all of this is the employees are told to not physically stop thieves for liability purposes, so the alarms do little. The Bluetooth chip disabling tools is a good idea, but sadly most stolen tools are sold in flea markets or online where the thieves just won’t say the tool doesn’t work then disappear after the sale. It needs some obvious highly visible warning that the tool is inoperable.

Those wheel-locking carts have been used elsewhere too, but I doubt they'll have such locks on the flatbed or lumber carts. I bet you could just ask them to put a $459 toilet on a cart for you, and then ask a different person to help load it into your van/truck.
Or, if you really wanted to steal something (small), just put it in an orange 5 gallon bucket.

I'm not condoning theft. I've also wondered why it's totally OK to have bouncers at bars/clubs, but not at retailers?

Every week a man would walk out the door of Home Depot with wheelbarrow full of sawdust. The cashier would check through the sawdust to be sure only sawdust was in the wheelbarrow. He would do this about once a week and each time a cashier would check through the sawdust and the man would be on his way.

One day the manager called a meeting with the employees to be more observant for shoplifters. Turns out there were 5 wheelbarrows stolen from the store.
