No reason for Home Depot to prevent it, they just recoup their loss in higher prices for those silly enough to pay for merchandise

They got robbed again? What gets me, he had to have taken a bit of time loading $3700 worth of copper pipe into his car! Too bad the cops couldn’t get there quick enough. Or the employees didn’t try to sabotage this guys attempt to get away? You know, like put a handful of nails under his tires while he’s loading his car? do something! I mean what could he do at that point? Try to stab 5 guys while loading up the copper? It could have bought time for the Police to come. People are that desperate they are going to threaten someone’s life for copper pipe? Just insanity!
