If the inventory control person (yellow shirt) isn't there, then
activity is recorded on video.  In this case, the original poster
admitted that he sneaked into the outdoor and bypassed both the
inventory control point and was not captured on the entry cameras.
While it appears that BBY has a hole in their system, the guy was
clearly doing something unusual by not using the public "IN" door.
