STAPLES STORES WILL TAKE OLD COMPUTERS

  And the other
day I heard an anecdote from someone who works in a retail
clothing shop at a nearby mall - that franchise doesn't even
bother prosecuting shoplifting unless it's more than $1,000. 
When I worked in Disney World, we were specically told to ignore
shoplifters from mechandise carts... the stuff wasn't valuable enough to 
Disneyland has other people to handle its security and cameras all over the
place. Many times I have seen people stopped and talked to at the exit of
the park. Basically my understanding is that you can't come back.

Someone posted the rules recently for stopping/arresting/holding a
shoplifter, I think in reference to the Fry's et al practice of snooping
your bags and marking the receipt as you leave the store, very strict.

Truth is my guess is that most theft is internal. I was talking to the
manager of a Pep Boys store, and he said they have even lost tires out the
front door.
