Shopdropping a crime?

Everyone knows shoplifting is as crime but what about shopdropping? The act (or art, if you will) of reverse shoplifting: which is going into stores and putting things onto the shelves. Personally, I believe the world we live in needs to be constantly challenged and shopdropping is often used as a harmless form of political and social expression and hey, what's wrong with that? In a country that seems to progressively believe that protesting on any level is either outrageous or not worth the effort, I'll take what little victories we can get.

I should probably indicate at this point in time that I, Christie Allison St. Martin support the art of shopdropping and not the LA Times. I mean they could. Who knows? But I'm a little scared to ask and generally try not to make a habit of speaking on other peoples behalf...and now I am rambling. Fabulous. Look at that.

Oh and if a certain rather lovely police chief (and BBQing master) stumbles upon this blog entry by chance, I don't support shopdropping, sir. It's clearly a crime. Those damned kids and their shenanigans. I'm shocked and appalled. Shocked and appalled.

ANYWAY, shopdropping. Check it out. [ Shopdropping a crime? ]

i remember this one place i used to work at had one of those vending machines that sold things like sandwiches and fresh fruit. . . you pushed a button to rotate the inside core 'til you found what you wanted, inserted your drachmas, slid open the plastic door, and took out your food. . . it took me about a month to get the idea but eventually i started replacing the food i took out with various other edibles i had hanging around my desk. . .
