A case study in one of my classes (back in the dark ages) was a company that used to
shoplift from stores and then use the examples to help the companies beef up their
security. Two of their employees walked into a Sears&Roebuck and walked out with a
canoe. They got caught when they went back for the paddles. They stated exactly what
you just said -- the key to getting away with it is to look like you're supposed to
be doing whatever you're doing.
