I bet this guy used to work there. They don't say how he left but it is strange that the picture shows the gold Taurus parked in the back of Walmart after hours. I bet he went out the back door and people thought he was working. In the front door out the back in the car.

I guess all the Wal-Mart employees were fascinated by the broken glass and it didn't dawn on them to call the law. This store has only one way in and out at that time of the morning.

He just walks in, breaks the glass, takes the rifles and walks right out of the store? Nobody tries to stop him? I think we will see a new form of thievery with these dudes doing it right in plain site, taking what they want when they want it! Maybe walmart need to have armed security in the parking lot AND at the doors! Is all lost? Whats the world coming to! Wow!

no worries, if he stole them from walmart, they probably won't work properly anyway.
