"You can do it, we can help."

This is not the intended use of the Florida tag.

It was probably one guy, with a bunch of hired help from the parking lot.

Security system disabled? Inside job.

IXI Jim IXI:It was probably one guy, with a bunch of hired help from the parking lot.

I got diet cherry Pepsi on my desk.

My mom works there, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

Seriously though-don't work there.
The people there are crazy.

Criminal or not, I have to nominate this one for a SPIFFY tag.

Thread over, we have a winner on the boobies

EngineerBoy:"You can do it, we can help."

Here is a bucket of internets.

/You win

I find it hard to believe that any Home Depot would not have a night security guard. How much would that have cost?

EngineerBoy wins, I concur.

A Lovely Zombie:My mom works there, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

Really? Where was she during the hours of 10pm Saturday night and 7 am Sunday morning?

Have you ever tried to return anything to a Home Depot before? They act like you are trying to do what this guy actually did.

Totally an inside job.

IXI Jim IXI:A Lovely Zombie:My mom works there, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

Ha.
I probably should of worded that better.
My mom works at a Home Depot, not that specific one.

Have you ever tried to return anything to a Home Depot before?

Actually, I have returned quite a few items to them, and never once had a problem. Once I didn't even have a receipt.

/Fairly small town, though, not suburbia.

7th Son of a 7th Son:It's not Home Depot's fault some moran bought the wrong item. Most customers of theirs have the I.Q. which if multiplied by 1,000 might be enough intelligence to tie your shoe. Home Depot employees > Home Depot customers.

Nobody told me there would be math involved...

Girl bites mom over cell phone


I'd love to know how she did that...

Where was the safe from?

pwhp_67:Girl bites mom over cell phone


I'd love to know how she did that...

And how much she charges...

EngineerBoy:"You can do it, we can help."

Thread over in the boobies.

Starryeyes:i want to know what kind of tools they used. Is my DeWalt cordless circular saw going to cut through a safe?

Nope. Gotta use a recip saw with a tungsten carbide blade - takes care of case hardened steel pretty well, which I think most safe hinges are made from.



(worked at the Home Depot in Livermore after the dot com crash before landing the gig at LLNL - really not a bad place to work)

EngineerBoy:"You can do it, we can help."

Flawless.

I work for Lowes in the tool department so I am really getting a kick out of this!!

Obviously they didn't use the Ryobi tools - those things are utter crap.

/You too, Kobalt.

Starryeyes:i want to know what kind of tools they used. Is my DeWalt cordless circular saw going to cut through a safe?

If you use a 7 1/4 " Lenox metal cutting blade!

Wanted for questioning.

You're both idiots. DeWalt angle grinder. Accept non substitutes. One of those portable acetylene outfits they sell would also work if the thief knew how to use acetylene without blowing himself up.

Did they have one of their How-to-Crack-a-Safe DIY clinics? I always miss that one.

If its set up like most retail stores, they would have had to get through 2 separate alarm systems - one when they entered the building and one on the cash room itself...I'd say it had to be an inside job, someone deactivated the alarm systems.

urgetting your dream shot...
ur going to MIRAMAR!!
/i would say the police need to check this thread... lots of potential suspects

Gee thanks for the compliment, liter. There's always more than one way to do anything and always more than one appropriate tool to do the job. I personally would use a recip saw because I've found I have much better control with a reciprocating as opposed to a rotary cutting surface, especially when using portable tools.

btw
different MIRAMAR... i know

So how long before there's copy cat robberies at other home improvement stores????
/give it a week at most

WTF safe can be opened with Home Depot tools?

/unless it's a Home Depot safe.

Liter. Ouch. A sawzall would have you there for a couple of days. A 7 1/2" angle grinder turning 14,000+ rpms would have you done in minutes. One thing I forgot about the oxy/fuel outfits- I think those bottles are sold empty and have to be filled by the consumer. Wouldn't know- I got the big bottles. That's right, I just bragged about having acetylene in my garage.

/Love my XRP sawzall, just wouldn't use it to open a safe.
//Also love those Lenox rescue blades.

jynxyu:So how long before there's copy cat robberies at other home improvement stores????

Likely not many because whenever something like this happens security is beefed up for a while. A few years ago a Home Depot had a truck just ram through the glass doors and loaded up and drove off. For a couple months they stored pallets of cinder blocks and concrete in front of the doors. Then they quit because it was a hassle.

Sounds like we need to bring in the specialists to resolve this argument:

Or just one of them to make you forget you were even arguing in the first place:

IXI Jim IXI:It was probably one guy, with a bunch of hired help from the parking lot.

came way too late to say the same thing.

Last time I was at HD, the clerk had to go get a manager because she wasn't sure if I could use a Home Depot gift card to pay for my merchandise. The manager wasn't sure either. I had to convince them that you can use HD gift cards to pay for HD merchandise. Where's that IQ balance shifting now?

"Thieves break into Home Depot and use display tools to rob store safe" Point of order, subby. This was not a robbery, it was a burglary. Robbery is taking something from someone else by force or threat thereof. They did not rob the safe, they burgled it.
