I read somewhere that the FBI is working on "shoplift to order" rings. Small expensive items are sold on eBay, etc and shoplifted to fill the orders.

"In store warranty" may be out also. People have been buying a new item to replace a broken item and returning the broken one for a refund.

I have been meaning to chip my dog. Maybe next week. We are about five miles from our neighbors so he doesn't tend to wander these days anyway.
