Yes, we have no EAS tags

EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) tags are what makes alarms go off when someone tries to take the item out of the store without de-activating it.

In this particular case, they've helpfully put a trolley full of books with a label saying they don't have these tags in them. Brilliant.

Susie and Matt's engagement party last night was great.

Went into the city today and picked up a guide book to San Francisco (omg 26 days) and a new fan for a PC PSU we have.

My solution uses a pocket knife and causes a small amount of damage to the plastic cover (but not to the DVD or the cover art). If someone slightly less honest wanted to, it would be pretty easy to do this in the store, too. It's just a case of knowing how to remove it (basically, push tag in, disengage internal lever, pull tag out).

You could also do it with a sufficiently strong magnet and cause zero damage, in theory.
