Back in the '80s I worked in retail. There was this talking bear toy
called Teddy Ruxpin. If I had been rich, I'd have bought some of those, recorded subversive--though not overtly sexual--stuff on them, then
smuggled them back into the stores. Security is not looking for people bringing merchandise *into* the store. If one abandoned a shopping cart
with merchandise in it, the items would get re-shelved. Imagine a parent buying the toy in early December, and it being opened at Christmas. By
then, any possible security footage would be long gone. Imagine the bear saying, "If you don't eat all your vegetables, you're going to get a spanking." "I want to be your only toy. Throw your other toys away."
"There's a monster that lives under your bed."
Can you imagine people returning it to places like Target? "Listen to
what this thing says!"
Of course, if I had been rich, I wouldn't have been working in retail.
If I were religious I would pray, "Please God, let me win the lottery
and I promise that I will devote the rest of my life to relatively
harmless pranks."
