The man avoided being caught by security, even though he emerged to regularly charge items.

One security guard caught him and took pity because the young man was studying for a test. paul cop GIF

Another security guard was not so forgiving. Once the mall cop discovered the elaborate setup, the man was kicked out on October 30th.
