Doesn't sound like "veiled theft" to me.  Target made a mistake, and Renard
just happened to be there to benefit from it.  It's not his responsibility
to say "Hey, these are supposed to be $80, why are you selling them for $25?
You really should sell them for $80."  They (Target and every other retail
store) employ people to check these prices, enter them into the computers,
label the merchandise, etc.  That isn't the job of the consumer.  C'mon,
every single one of us would have done what Renard did, given the
opportunity[1][2].

[1] No, I don't mean *every* single person on Lugnet, because obviously you
are too honest to do such a thing.  It's just a figure of speech.

[2] Last year I found a few Slave I's that were tagged at $9.99.  The retail
value of the sets (at the time) were $19.99.  They rang up at $19.99.  The
boxes were labeled $9.99.  I pointed this out, and got them for $9.99.
Someone messed up and put the wrong price on the actual item.  They goofed.
I got sets for cheap.  Big deal.
