no, lots of stores do this, or at least mark that item off, so they can't steal another one and return it too.

Stealing and getting caught.

Assuming you've authorized the service, then yes, you are committing a crime by removing the car from the repair facility.  It's called "Obtaining goods or services by false pretenses".

This is the least of your worries unless you are actively buying from him.  I would not be so much concerned about possible jail sentences for him but more about the probability that his activities could attract a criminal element and that this could affect you in a bad way.  If I knew something like this was going on next door to me I'd send an anonymous tip to the police.

Technically, it is. However, I can't think of a single time that particular law was ever enforced. You will have more trouble with the supermarkets and theaters. Since you will be on their property, they may take exception to your advertising without paying them.\n\nI lived in Dallas for years and must have had thousands of flyers pushed beneath my windshield wipers. At one place, it got so bad that property owner sued the advertisers. I don't know what the settlement was, but no more flyers were put out.

Happening more and more! What's the amount an what was it for? If they bought something from you in person , in the area where you live,call the local police department, if it was a mail order sale, call the police department in their area, it's fraud.\nOver a certain amount (depends on the state, Utah is $250, Wisconsin $600) , it's also a felony. Good luck!

It's a way for them to limit your returns without a receipt. It was put in place due to the rise in shoplifting then returning items for the money.

That would be illegal, so unless you're willing to break the law and risk arrest, I'd suggest buying it. It's only $50 at most stores.

there is no price information encoded in a bar code. When the scanner at the checkout line scans a product, the cash register sends the UPC number to the store's central POS (point of sale) computer to look up the UPC number. The central computer sends back the actual price of the item at that moment. \nThis approach allows the store to change the price whenever it wants, for example to reflect sale prices. If the price were encoded in the bar code, prices could never change. On the other hand, not encoding a fixed price gives the store an easy way to rip off customers. When you hear about "scanner fraud" in the news, that is what the newsperson is talking about. It is incredibly easy for a store to mistakenly or purposefully overprice an item.

Now how stupid is it to put a sticker on your vehicle anyway. I know that a sticker during trade in costs you at least $2000.00 dollars. I never voted for any of the criminals anyway.

There is no state law against it.  There could be a municipal code that covers it in your area, and you'd have to check with the police department to find that out.

File a claim with the police.  File a claim with your insurance company.  Neither one will result in getting the merchandise back or any money, but it will establish a record of the crime.  This will help if you catch the same people in the act next time.\n\nAnother precaution you can take (besides locking up the car and house securely and/or with an alarm) is to engrave a code number on your stuff, and write down the code number on a separate piece of paper that you put in safe-keeping.  Then if you know who took the stuff, the police can check for the code number you provide them, and that will be enough evidence for them to reclaim the property and charge the criminals.\n\nGood luck!

If you found the item in a store or somehwere you can put up a flyer near where you found it and ask that the owner call and identify the item. You can also turn it in to the police and they will handle it. Or you can put an ad in the local paper. The first 2 will not cost you anything.
