That way, every time I went through the door, in or out, I would set off the alarm. Since I went into this store every day and they all new my name, they soon stopped bothering to check me (after the third day no less) and I was free to walk out with whatever I wanted. Not that I would ever do that - it was all about unnerving them. And man oh man, did I.

Also great for removing bumper and other stickers from vehicles. Goo Gone works well too, but can't get that or the Boraxo here. Western Autos in most states carry Boraxo though. Good post by the way, very useful letter, hope you made 'fill in the blank' copies, loadsa shitheads out there to send it to:) Lightly applying a bit of almost any petroleum product or Boraxo hand cleaner and letting sit a few minutes will take off most of the glue of almost any type.

I use an exacto blade, slice all relevant tape down the dvd case seam and then peal from the inside out. No more gunky mess on the plastic cover. Plus on the side that you might leave some sticky, or even for the chia dvds that you have lying around, "Goo Gone" is wonderful anti-sticky remover. On a paranoid note, I also remove the anti-theft device from the cases, so they can't track me from space. I'm working on building a mind-reading tinfoil hat too, so the "man" can't find me and read my thoughts anymore! I second zippers comments on the security tape thingy.

It was great! I also found the complete series of Freaks and Geeks. It was a short lived series on NBC that was for some reason canceled after 18 episodes. To get the damn tape off easier all you have to do is slice it down the seem of the case and slowly remove each half. The only time you run into any issues is when they don't get the damned case sleeve all the way below the plastic liner, Then it is cuss time. I went out and bought Hot Fuzz last night also.
