Reverse Shoplifting by L . Jerome

September 19th, 2008 5:22 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Insert an object into a store. Make sure your object can be bought.

I've been itching to tackle this task since the idea popped into my head. I thought I would have to hustle hard for a week or two to get to Level 2, but you guys have been great to me...I got plenty of votes for my drawing of Adam in Player Portrait. Therefore, I was yanked up to Level 2 by you people and it is for you all that I complete this task.

It also inspired me to create a task for everyone... when I was thinking of what to reverse shoplift, it came to me in the shower, as so many ideas do.

INTRICATELY COMBINE TWO TASKS - "REVERSE SHOPLIFT'" A "REAL LIFE SECRET EGG"

As the pics show, I hard-boiled an egg to make sure that the egg would be noticed by the buyer sooner or later. A bit of libations to get the juices moving - tag the egg so that the patron recognizes - and move out.

The pics tell a lot of the story from there...Grabbed an 18 pack of eggs, walked around with it in a basket...switched out the eggs...replaced. However, as I roamed the store for a bit, thinking that there had to be something to buy, I walked by the eggs a few times. But on my last trip,

I LITERALLY SAW A COUPLE PICK UP THE REVERSE-SHOPLIFTED EGGS! My mouth dropped, I concealed my camera, and took a pic of the two... it is blurry, and you may only be able to see one of them, but holy crap-balls.

I could not believe it happened right in front of me. Talk about satisfaction.

What a game.

Love,
L. Jerome

Replace the Real Life Secret Egg - if you can see the faded (EB - Eggland's Best) logo on the egg second from the left, top row, that's the guy. Hard boiled and Secretized.

The takers. I can't believe it happened right in front of me. The woman pushes the cart, the man is behind the open freezer door.

There are already Secret Egg praxes that involved returning the eggs to the store - but this fact doesn't stop the time you did it from being a fun read.

Keep it up. I like seeing your tasks.

you're a good man, I have more tasks ready to roll... but apparently I should research to make sure they are solid enough to pass the test...

wow, this makes the game so much better... a tough crowd makes for a tougher performer
