According to the California Highway Patrol, a theft ring targeted Lowe's, Home Depot, and Harbor Freight stores throughout SoCal.
Lowe's told thousands of store workers this week that their jobs were being eliminated as the company outsourced tasks.
A Lowe's scam is targeting Facebook users.
Officials with the Orange County Sheriff's Department detonated a 'destructive device' found in a Lowe's Home Improvement parking lot on Friday.
These employees deserve a salute for their honorable efforts.
