  1. Should have used duct tape… it can do anything.

  2. Gert says:

    I say if you stink so bad you need to steal Fabreze maybe the store ought to let them?

    Also kind of confused here really, Fabreze theft is a major issue?

  3. Joe Mama says:

    Good way to protect the $2.85 cans of Febreeze, meanwhile the Nintendo Wiis are walking out the door like ants at a picnic.

  4. Explainer says:

    Febreze is a big source of inhalants. Kids steal them in order to get a quick and painful high… :\

    • Dave says:

      At least their breath will be fresh smelling.

    • FennecFreakk says:

      I was about to suggest this. It’s pretty prevalent where I live, and I used to be a shelf- stocker at a local supermarket. Any product in a pressurized can would get stolen an awful lot.

      • The Hermit says:

        Seriously, if you can’t panhandle the $2.85 to BUY that can of Febreze you’re not a very convincing drug addict. I mean, coming up with enough for a gram of coke is probably a little hard, but a $2.85 can of FEBREZE?! I’m sure you could find that in pennies outside of the store.

  5. TT says:

    Febreze thieves aren’t that bright.

  6. deedee says:

    You have to be an American to find that safe from shop lifters

  7. jw69 says:

    Ah! Good ol’ Family Dollar! Only they can think this was a good idea. LOL

    • Lisa says:

      I work at Family Dollar, and the Air Wick refill scent bottles are actually our #1 product that gets stolen, so it does happen.

      • LocaLoba says:

        I just can’t figure out why someone would want to steal something so trivial. You’ll risk going to jail so your house will smell nice? Really?

        • FennecFreakk says:

          Actually, it’s nothing to do with the scent, people use it to get high. Considering how expensive actual drugs are, you’d think they’d be willing to shell out at least 2 freakin’ bucks to get wasted.

  8. CookieMunster says:

    Actually, this would probably do a good job deterring the impulse shoplifter, as the effort required in removing the anti-theft device or the resulting noise might make them less willing to follow through with the attempt.

    …but yea, if anyone goes into a store thinking “I’m gonna steal me some Febreze today!”, then they’re probably gonna steal some Febreze.

  9. Unkownable says:

    this is more like a win in my book!
    I am not sure wants funnier – the anti-theft devices on the Febreeze or that they are taped to the Fabreeze!
    -they could have just put them in a locked cabnet,in a security box, or use the little “Spyders” (another anti-theft device – one you see that looks like a disk with wires that wrap around the object to be secured)
    btw I work at Walmart – and I have never heard of someone stealing Febreeze -as for kids trying to get high off of aerosols/inhalants – the anti-theft device wouldn’t prevent the Febreeze from being sprayed

  10. kak says:

    thats a sex toy abuse protection?

  11. Jon says:

    My local Walgreen’s keeps $1.50 packs of gum in a locked case.

  12. Dawmiien says:

    In all fairness, you would have to steal scissors before you could steal the Febreeze and the scissors are guarded by ED-209.

  13. LocaLoba says:

    Ya gotta love Family Dollar. There’s one in my town. And yes, they will put anti-theft devices on things like Febreze and fake jewelry that costs $3, but not on more expensive items. I always find that amusing, however, I’ve never seen them taped to a can before.

  14. GeauxLeBlancEtRouge says:

    Seems more like a kludge to me.

  15. Holly says:

    Couldn’t you just peel off the tape?

  16. Rob says:

    Where on earth is the economy sooo bad that people have to steal febreze? Bakersfeild?

  17. Vinci says:

    Do you also have romanian people there?
    Here, they steal everything they can. While you wait at red lights or stops, they open the passengers door of your car to steal that is on the seats.

  18. Britney says:

    Good ol Family Dollar…

  19. Gregory Goldmaker says:

    Don’t even know if that’s a fail as much as just a stupid thing to do.

  20. dao vang says:

    While you wait at red lights or stops, they open the passengers door of your car to steal that is on the seats.

  21. game says:

    the windows and drive with the door locks engaged.

  22. tro choi says:

  23. y8 games says:

    you stink so bad you need to steal Fabreze maybe the store ought

  24. y8 new says:

    meanwhile the Nintendo Wiis are walking out the door like

  25. i hope noone will steal them

  26. mininut says:

    can someone explain this

  27. G. James says:

    And when the dye pack explodes going out the door, the can of Febreze is somehow rendered useless?
