If I remember correctly, they "determined" that the timeline, between the suspected time of Lee's death and Syed meeting Jay Wilds in the Best Buy parking lot, that the prosecution put forward was plausible. However, this was based on a single drive through of the route ~15 years later.

I stopped taking Serial seriously after they did that completely unscientific "Let's retrace his path in our car and see if the timeline pans out" experiment.

And that his breaking into the school during a massive blizzard is more newsworthy than the burglary he was caught committing.

They'll probably check returns for a couple of weeks, just for show, and then go right back to not checking. By that time, this story will have long been forgotten and they can still just write-off the inventory loss to their insurance.

Scammers been keen on the fact that brick & mortar stores/Amazon do not check returns for a long time. That's why Amazon third party vendors have started going to a "We'll just issue you a refund, you don't have to send the item back" policy. They know that Amazon will just take that returned item and throw it back on the shelf.

Most likely a return scam being run through the stores in the area that has been successful because no one bothers to check the returns.

Hope you have the money to make the IOC look the other way on all the doping.

Not if it is Gary the Gnome. THE Leprechaun even knows not to mess with him.
