Sad when $3500 in stolen ammo doesn't even fill half your back seat

[frenchiectfd2203]

Yup.... Jack. Wonder if the LEO held back asking if Jack's last name started with an A or O.

“guy named Jack on a phone app called Kik” told him he would get a discount at Rural King and “all he had to do” was push the cart out of the store.

I think he went by Mr. Mehoff

I know he got banned, but does this mean he will or won’t have his pictures plastered all over local rural kings in INDIANA per their own SOP?

Embarrassing!

 

[xwing]

I'm glad they caught him. That was quite brazen to just fill his cart, pretend he was on the phone to avoid talking to anyone, and breeze out of there. But I could see why he thought he'd get away with it if the employees weren't on the ball.

Looking at the pictures, I can't believe that's $3500 of ammo; it was all common / less-expensive calibers too.

He was going to triple his $$$ in the ammunition for sale section of the classifieds.

Good Lord, let's hope he was NOT a member here...

A little lizard told me I could save a bunch of money by just walking out of the store with the product instead of stopping by the register. It’s sound financial advice.

15% or more..

40 cents for 9mm, 60 cents for .40, 63 cents for .223 and 65 cents for 5.56. Are you guys finding ammo way cheaper than this that you can cash and carry? Where and how much?

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

I cant tell you how many times I've put on somebody else's pants. Its unreal. Am I the only one that ONLY hangs around with guys wearing the exact size pants I do?

No, but your the only one hanging out with a group of guys with no pants on.

$650/case?

Sounds like there is more than one thief in this story!

So, out of curiosity, I checked some current advertisements. It took all of 3 seconds to find these cases for $480 with free shipping.

online bulk ammo is getting close to pre panic prices. Adjusted for Inflation of course.
I was seeing .223 for around 45c. Down into the 30s if you dont mind steel case.

And I can see the market stratifying. Retail will keep selling high, feeding the noobs that think you cant mail order and dont look. And Online will get back to "normal".

Yes, I certainly am finding it cheaper than that. <$.30 for 9mm brass and <$.50 for 223 brass. Just check out the "get your ammo here" thread. Deals found daily...

That is all internet dealers, I was asking about cash and carry. Many do not want ammo shipped on a credit card and prefer cash and carry, that is priced differently often.

Why? Why would anyone pay retail? I buy almost nothing in-store. I've bought all my guns & ammo online for the past 15+ years. (Obviously pick-up at a local FFL for the guns purchased online.) It is foolish to pay 25-50% more for the exact same thing! The only times I've bought in-store were a few times when Black Friday deals (aka at Bass Pro) had prices that were worth the early-morning trip and long wait in line.

Then you are going to pay a premium for that privilege. Its always been more expensive retail due to the relative expense of retail shelf space vs cheap warehouse space.

You obviously have a lot to learn about others. Please do you, but understand others have different goals.

At least he didn't use the old "some dude gave it to me" alibi. Of course, I guess his recount is the internet version of the "some dude" defense.
