MONROE, La. (AP) -- While Wal-Mart is known for dropping its prices, one West Monroe man took the ad campaign seriously when he dropped the price of a plasma television from $984 to $4.88. Police arrested Chandon L. Simms, 23, on Tuesday at the retail store on a charge of felony theft.

According to police reports, Simms carried a 42-inch Sanyo Plasma TV to a self-checkout aisle after switching the original price tag of $984 with one for only $4.88. Wal-Mart Loss Prevention officers witnessed the alleged transaction and called police.

When the store officers stopped Simms on his way out the door, he produced a receipt for a television purchased at the West Monroe Wal-Mart, authorities said.

Simms told officers that he purchased a TV from the West Monroe store and planned to returrn that one and keep the one he purchased for only $4.88 from the Monroe store. He was then arrested and booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center.

^ self checkout.

but yeah, he shoulda been more sneaky about the tag thing. It's hard on a huge TV though. I would steal a tag, wait a while, maybe go to a different store, then try to slap it on the plasma tv, maybe take off the old one. Either way it would be hard.

All Right Who's Tried This One Before :

You Have Your Self And Another Homie Or More If You Want To Do More, But Lets Say I Have Money For A T.V. Lets Say $114, Then You Go In Through Door #1 ( Wall*Marts Have 2 Doors ) Then You Buy The TV Normally, When You Get Your Repciet You Don't Damage It At All, Then You Exit Through door #1.... Now Outside You Got Homeboy Waiting, You Give The Repciet To Homeboy, Homeboy Hides The Repciet And Goes In Through Door #2 Go Gets The TV, And Dips It Through Door #2, The Old Retired Guy Checks Your Shit And You Got The Repciet So Off You Go, You Load The Tv And Dip It Before You Push Your Luck

And Come Out, And Leave ASAP Before They Notice You And Homeboy Know Eachother, Just do The Job Quick, just Not "OMG IMA GET CAUGHT Kinda Quick", And Theyre to Concentrated On Looking For The "Ima Try To Stuff My Pockets With Sharpies" Kinda Robbers, This On The Other Hand Looks Casual....
