Now that you mention the anti-theft harness, for a minute there they were putting cassettes in long boxes, too. I almost never bought cassettes - the guy at Record Gallery convinced me I was better off getting the vinyl, and then make new cassettes as needed. Also that a homemade cassette could sound a lot better than prerecorded (but then I quickly figured out this had to do with the quality of one’s cassette deck, whether one could set the level or instead it had the built-in compressor). Later on he was kind of glad to see CDs take off as it meant using less plastic than with LPs.
