I wonder if some health-foods activist did that?
What a heist dude. Can you imagine opening up and either eating or stashing an entire pack of cookies without takin' the tray, all while walking around in the store? Even more hilarious is imagining someone going to the trouble of buying them, eating them, and replacing them with oranges which they already presumably had, all to go to the effort of returning them (and hoping the counter jockey wouldn't notice "oh the seal is broken on the cookies already" and refuse the return of SIX ORANGES).
If they did it all in the store and stuck it back on the shelf, even more hilarious is that the best "substitute" they could find for the cookies was oranges. They obviously thought carefully about what would be the best fit. I KNOW, LETS JUST TAKE SOME ORANGES
Completely bizarre, what does a pack of cookies cost like two dollars?

Around $3.20 or so. Which is exactly why I'm not going to walk back into the store with them. My dignity is worth more than that.
If she decides to walk in there with these, I will be updating this topic.

Is nobody considering the possibility that the oranges somehow got into the packet and ate the cookies?
Oreos is associated with that packaging style because Nabisco used it there first.
Returned food is disposed. Makes you wonder what the hell happened lol
How did he fit an Xbox in a Soda box? And how did he get too a Xbox, those are usually locked up.
That's the whole point. They actually work very well. Just let the flap fall and it basically reseals itself. I believe the tamper-proof seal is on the far right side, where you see it looks ripped.

Display model xbox into a 20 can pack? I'd think you'd have to spend time packing it though.
And what stupid thing to do to save a few hundred bucks!
Yeah, sticky resealable stuff on there. If only opened and placed back once, it would still look pretty legit unless you look carefully.

But there is generally some water-mark thingy that says "opened" or "seal-broken" or somesuch. But I can see not noticing that right away.
Yeah, I edited to address that.

but there's two trays exactly equal in size and shape. wtf.
Maybe all the cookies aren't the same thickness and they sort them to fit exactly 33. I don't know.

Load of crap imo.
For one..... if you could just pick up an Xbox and walk out with it there are FAR easier ways to steal one that that. Chances are you could walk out of the store with the box on the bottom of your cart and no one would even notice.
For another, no major retailer leaves major electronics out in the open. You have to get an employee to open the case and ring you up at the electronics counter. If the retailer he stole from really left them out in the open with no security devices they would go out of business very quickly.
Edit: If a display model I doubt it was just sitting out. Aren't they usually hidden/secured?
Been sitting here for like five minutes imagining how this legendary boost went down.
Don't even want details. That was an awesome five minutes, man. Thanks.

There is nothing healthy about oranges.
The cookies probably had less calories & sugar than the oranges.

Ya..... you are wrong.
Oranges do have a lot of sugar, but they are not calorie dense at all. Too much of their mass is made up of water.

I've seen games being stolen before by putting in a music cd and taking out the game disc. Usually its done by delivery drivers.
However, I can't understand why they would want to do this. I guess 6 oranges missing isn't a big deal but a bag of cookies is? Maybe the driver was really hungry...?

If you're anywhere near Florida they did you a favour. Oranges here are tiiiiiiiiiight, they're way better than a cookie.
That would make more sense. The chips ahoy black market hasn't been the same since the crash of '07
Speaking of Target and theft (you stole oranges) I was there yesterday and I watched a woman take some hair coloring kit of some sort and shove it right into her front pocket on her hoodie. She was with 2 guys both of which could prob kick my ass so I said nothing but man that pissed me off the rest of the day...
Anyone else have a situation like this and did you tell someone at the store about it before they left?

I bought a neat digital scale from Target once. I got it home and opened the box to discover some ratty ass disgusting old scale inside of it. Someone had bought the digital scale, taken it home, stuck their old scale in the box, and returned it to Target. They never even bothered to check.
That's wonderful. I hope it becomes a thing.
