I bought a pair of boots from a lokal store, then I moved and the zipper broke. I bought the same pair from Amazon and send the broken pair back.

If they ever ban renewables, keep them anyway and tell no one. Hide your bike set up, connect it to a power device directly.

If doing local work like mowing the lawn, or any such job where you recieve money in cash, don't fill in your taxes. Those taxes will just go to fund the next ballroom.

If it was 2014, I would consider you insane, like tinfoil hat tier insane

About that...no, there's a specific EM proof textile that's just a glorified Faraday cage that you can sew into your hat, around your wallet, and a phone holder. So that no one can track you if you need to disappear. As the CIA allegedly has something called ghost murmurr that can sense electrical impulses of your heart from 40 miles away, inside a cave.

You can go to a big box home center and rent a battery powered angle grinder. You can then go back to that same store in the middle of the night, use said angle grinder to cut your way in through an emergency exit, and pilfer thousands of dollars worth of cash and merchandise. They'll literally lend you the tools to rob them!

How isn’t this the top answer

Couple of fairly unethical Craigslist hacks, first if you see an item you want and it’s in a city that’s farther away I will tell the seller I live in a city where my actual city would be a little closer to them. Essentially telling someone I’m driving a few hours to meet them but of course I’m not leaving my home city, while they travel a few hours . Second, if you send someone a really low ball offer from one account and then from a different account send a more reasonable low offer and chances are higher they accept or at least counter. Third, if you post an identical item to what you’re looking for at a lower price you can sometimes drive down the price of the actual listing you’re after.

Never commit a misdemeanor while committing a felony.

Sadly this is what it took to catch some of the mass murderers out there.
