I am looking for information on laws and penalties concerning the Renting or Wardrobing of retail merchandise.
I am trying to convince my friends that you can not buy something with no intention of keeping it, use it, and than return it and in doing so you are commiting fraud. I know it is fraud but what can you be charged with?From Business Week - August 2005
Renting/Wardrobing:
An item is purchased legitimately, used or worn and returned as if new, enabling the purchaser to "rent" the merchandise for free.

This is Ohio, however any information is welcome.
