DEWALT 20-Volt MAX XR Premium Lithium-Ion 6.0Ah + 4.0Ah Starter Kit + Bonus Tool Expired

I saw two powerstack batteries sitting in a shopping cart at my local HD. They were not in packaging and there was a lot of misc crap in this cart. Being in a very high crime area I walked up to the CSR rep and told them hey look, there are $260 worth of batteries that are going to walk away at any moment. She walked over with me, called someone from the department who then came and said someone brought them in to be recycled. I said well if they are going to be recycled would you mind if I had them to work on? The guy said it's up to CSR (with a look on his face like well I am busted, fark), CSR lady said she didn't care at all. I said thank you, picked up the two batteries and walked out of the store immediately. I didn't turn around, I went straight to my car, chucked them in the trunk and went back shopping. It was only after I got done buying some stuff that I found out they were 100% brand new. So someone inside was trying to steal them or let their buddy steal them and I tried to do the right thing and ended up getting two free batteries. I know the store manager so I went back the next day and said hey I need 5 minutes of your time, explained the situation to him and offered to bring the batteries back. He looked at the batteries, He called someone from security and they started an investigation. It ended up busting a giant theft ring at my local store involving a lot of employees. Manager said I saved them $10k-40k a week easily after they tracked everyone stealing for a while. These idiots were selling it on Facebook market from what he briefly told me and they had ALL the records.

TLDR: Found 2 powerstack batteries, that were about to be stolen, alerted HD staff, I get to keep the batteries and dismantled a large theft ring.

I find it funny when people give a thumbs down for offering info, like I did. It's useful to know what deals have happened, and when, so you can make the best choice in the future.

I love when someone is like, yeah, that's an ok deal, but it was 20 dollars less a few months ago. Then, since I'm patient, I will just watch, and get the best deal possible. That is what Slickdealing is all about.
