You know, if someone thought that I was an industrial spy or something.
Who's going to believe that I was just looking for pink foam!
Yeah, it can be a little embarassing perhaps, but think of all the money
you save! Its not so bad, if someone asks you to leave then just leave.
(Or if you're the confrontational type, tell them to MAKE you leave, damn
it!)
And yes, people will believe you if you say you're just getting foam and
boxes. If you've climbed over a locked fence onto private property or
broken into an enclosed area, then yeah, you might be in a little hot
water, but just look for dumpsters in publicly accessible areas like
behind stores and such and you'll be fine.
