Okay, we all know that shoplifting is a crime - but what about the reverse: shopdropping (or droplifting) where you go into stores and actually put things onto the shelves. Is that a crime?
Here's a neat article on WebUrbanist about the strange (performance art?) act of reverse shoplifting:
Shopdroppers have their own reasons for doing what they do. Some are social and political culture jammers who want to raising awareness about consumerism or adding warnings to dangerous products. Others seek to promote their own product, such as an album left in a record store. Still others do it for their own amusement and artistic fulfillment without expectations of any kind of return. [...]
Shopdroppers who are caught are variously freed by confused police or held on charges related to destruction of property or even fraud.

You're thinking of Banksy
Or if someone slipped some pornography into your childrens book section?
I also play those claw machines at grocery stores and restaurants and then give the toys I win to random kids. I always ask their parent if it's ok first though, don't want anyone thinking I'm a kiddie snatcher or anything. I leave my wait staff notes in restaurants when I'm leaving to thank them for the exemplary service (my mom was a waitress most of her life and I know what a tough and thankless job it is). Oh, and I send my mom these little pewter angel coins and she gives them to random people who look like they could use some cheering up or maybe a guardian angel.
I know it's corny and cheesy and all that, but I like giving back. I'm not rich, but I can still makes someones day a bit better in my own small way.
1. Sharing is bad (so corporations fuck you in the a$$)
2. Free always means cheap (most people still believe this lie)
3. New laws must be passed every day to restrict rights
4. Reminders of new, vague, or potential laws must be broadcast every day
5. You are not free
People who do this sound really full of themselves.

Those who speak out now either die of heart attack (via poisoning), fast-moving cancer, or some accidental type of method, never the lone gunman anymore.
Sure, lots of people will say, "But Hicks smoked his ass off!" Fuck that, the guy was at his peak, ready to bloom in America and his life was cut short by a "cancer sprinkle" from the powers that be. "Where's your proof?" Watch his videos, audio, everything from the guy, absorb through your eyes and ears, breathe his stuff, you'll see he was a lone preacher in the wilderness, trying to open our hearts to the reality of our present dictatorship. Friends, there is no land of the free, we are all slaves.
Bill Hicks:
"They don’t want the voice of reason spoken folks, cos otherwise we’d be free. Otherwise, we wouldn’t believe their fucking horseshit lies, nor the fucking propaganda machine of the mainstream media and buy their horseshit products that we don’t fucking need and become a third world consumer fucking plantation which is what we’re becoming. Fuck them. They are liars and murderers."
Where are voices of reason like this in today's media? Nowhere. The guy making a comment about GB hating black people and Rosie on The View telling people to Google gulf of T..... was as close as it got.
When a person speaks out to the people and for the people in a voice they can understand, they don't end up well soon after, this is fact. At the very least they are pulled from a show, or the show cancelled. If they are vocal enough and well respected enough not to be smeared or jailed, the shadows swirl around them.
Vote for Wesley Snipes and send a message: fuck your taxes we are not slaves.

The cement teddy bear story was pretty good.
But what the F--K!@! are you talking about and what the !@!#$ does it have to do with shopdropping?
