Hubby stopped at the food court to get hot dogs and drinks. I took the cart and went thru the line. Met him outside. 

We loaded groceries into Dually. Some young hispanic girl & a guy were trying to steal vehicles in the parking lot out where we parked across from the fueling area. We watched them, they came over and gave us a business card, I should have taken their pictures and turned them into Costco, but did not think of it until later. Instead of leaving business cards, they were trying to scan the door locks. Sneaky little assholes.

We left Costco and drove to get dogs.
