30 of the Most ‘I Committed a Murder’ Purchases Witnessed by Hardware Store Workers
‘A five-foot-long duffel bag’
Plenty of hardware store purchases are suspicious by themselves, but then there are the secondary purchases that really put them over the top. For example, while one Redditor was working in the hardware department, a customer came in and asked, “How much lime would it take to dissolve a body?” before buying two bags of the stuff.
Obviously, this raised all kinds of red flags — enough red flags that the police were called and a body was found hidden in a barrel on the customer’s property.
The other hardware store workers of Reddit have recalled the purchases that ranged from “That’s a weird combination of items” to “This guy definitely killed somebody,” and I don’t think there’s a normal way to buy a hacksaw.
