Plainly, the guy was a thief; and not a very smart one to pay for his

have called the store manager to the clerks location and explained the
situation in such a way as to not embarrass the clerk. The manager could
then do whatever store policy recommends when thievery is discovered on
credit card purchases.

Maybe the guy assembled the parts to carry them easier? Maybe he han't
"added up" what the total cost should be and didn't realize what
happened? Or maybe he *was* a crook after all.
