Hiding Lego - What is your opinion?

This has been nagging at me for a while and as Huskers mentioned in a post it should be started in it's own thread if the topic is going to be drawn out. If I owned a store and a customer was taking an item off the shelf and hiding it in the store so I wouldn't charge as much for it later I would consider that customer to intentionally trying to devalue a product I am trying to maximize profit on and essentially stealing from me. Would you find that customers behavior acceptable if it was your store? There are some people that would justify their actions and say that large retailers can afford to take the loss and it's a game to them. I don't see it that way. If I was stopped and asked by store security what I was doing if I was hiding packages around the building what could my reason be? If I said anything other than what I am attempting to do I would be a liar also and if I lied about it I must be ashamed of what I am doing.
