    just take them, people that work at stores like that don't care about stuff like that.. and if they act like they do, just call them out on it.

    It might be better to do what people used to do in the old days...ask the people who work there if you can have it after they take it down. You ask when that'll be and come back a day or two before to remind them that you want it. No stealing is necessary.

    HAHAHA I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!!

    I knew someone that worked at FYE and I got an ICP cut out which hold cds. Its awesome. Before FYE started charging for cut outs.

    i asked the manager at target if i could have it, and she said that they are under contract to destroy the displays... which is just ridiculous.

    Dude, just get the manager and give him your number or something and say that if when you sell all the CDs or are done with the display that youre interested in it. Im sure theyd call you or something if they would offer to do that or something

    I don't have any interest in a Backspacer display but I, like many PJ fans, have stolen a Yield sign right off the road.

    Talk with the store manager and tell them "when it's time to take down this display, can I buy it from you?". Maybe they'll say yes. Maybe they'll say they'll give it to you for free. Unless they're a fan, or someone on their staff is... why wouldn't they?

    If you're determined to get one, go to a bunch of stores. It's not unlikely that at least ONE will have someone willing to give it to you.

    At least, that'll increase your chances. :)
