$175 Full Tilts

So, It all started when my friend longboarded from his home to downtown Madison Wisconsin and went into a ski shop having a store moving sale with 50% off everything. He entered the store, leaned his longboard on the wall and went to look at skis. He saw a pair of Anthems for $250, what a deal, then layed eyes on a pair of Full Tilt Booters, he had the same pair at home, but was missing a screw, so he snuck the part off of those boots and was off with his new pair of skis and boot part on his longboard. 5 days later, I along with another friend, longboarded downtown to the same store, i had no intention of buying anything, my friend got some hot doggers for a good price, and i tried on some full tilts as well, just to see how they fit, i walked around in them for a bit untill the store clerk noticed a piece was missing.... I looked down, and there was no inner cant piece at that moment I realized my friend had taken that piece for himself. The pair was the last pair in the store and was my exact size, the clerk went to look for the piece in the parts bin, while we waited, knowing he wouldn't find anything. He came back and offered me an extra $25 off the boots which were already $200 on sale, I took the deal and walked home a happy full tilt owner.

you're not to bright are you? your advocating your friends stealing because you profited from it thus saying the thievery is of which of course it isn't you're stealing from a small business that probably barely breaks even in this economy.

Except now you have to buy a $25 screw. So your buddy got a free part but you'll pay $200 anyways
