Being a criminal works best when you do it brazenly and publicly and don’t bother to try and hide what you’re doing. See: President Trump.

Motorised ones, and just with a single wheel per foot, but yeah.
If nothing else this man’s antics are a good advert. The idea is so stupid but I can feel myself wanting a pair.

Thieves know that no one will stop them. Been a big problem here in Canada at liquor stores. A friend who works in retail said people just walk out with stuff; best they can do is try to get a licence plate and tell the cops, who likely don’t care anyway.

Wow. My Walmart has a person posted at each door that annoys you for a receipt if you even dare to have one unbagged item. Maybe that technology hasn’t reached Florida yet.

Perhaps the Florida state statutes define retail theft as walking or running out of an establishment with goods without having first paid.
Not Guilty!
Florida man possesses a keen legal mind.

OK, someone needs to make a version of these (maybe ones you fully wear) that go like 20-30mph.
And then, someone needs to come up with a gun you can mount in your forehead.
Obviously, we already have Illustrated Primers…
or even shelf lacers
