My question involves criminal law for the state of: michigan
I was replying to another guys string, but the post is too old so here is my reply. Let me know what you think.

I read up on this a little, and what you are describing qualifies as Return Policy Vulnerabilities and Loopholes - not retail fraud. There is a difference. It is not my responsibility to inform the retailer that something I purchased and am returning was a different price. This legitimately happened to me the other day so how could someone know. I bought a clearanced item, showed it to my wife a few days later and she didnt want it. I returned them without a receipt and they gave me full price. I didnt know they were going to, but I am also not going to tell them! It's their problem if their inventory controls on discounted items are screwed up not mine.
