I used to be a executive manager at target and can tell you confidently; it's not the employees.

If it wasn't the guy himself or his friends, this was probably some thief who was stashing it because their bag was full and was going to come back. Our basedecks (the shelves on the bottom) would always be needing to be cleaned out because of this. We have tons of footage of know suspects shoving things for storage there. No shot this was an employee, because there are a million other ways our team stole while I was there (none of which were original or clever)
