You might get away with it, but here’s the part that really sucks: you’d be stuck in the shed until they opened the next day. No riding a bike down the aisles, not even any trips to the bathroom. The alarm system likely has motion sensors, and the cops are called automatically when the alarm goes off.

They probably have employees stocking at night. So no security system unless you try to open the wrong door, but you'll still probably get caught.

Good point. That may be the case as well. Either way, no bathroom breaks!

There's enough birds in a hardware store that I very much doubt they have motion detectors.

..birds? Just flying around the store crapping everywhere until they start pining for the fjords? 🤨

When you have mega high ceilings and big doors that stay open, birds indoors are a thing.

Yeah. Like, birds love hardware stores. You can't keep them out since they can fly in through the customer doors or through the loading docks they use for the big stuff.

Birds getting into things like hardware stores, large grocery stores, or shopping malls is a thing.
It's particularly difficult with a grocery store since they tend to have piles of vegetables and fruit sitting on easy to see tables. I once saw a sparrow sitting on the birdseed shelf looking absolutely smug.

You could just do like here in Denmark: not have ridiculously tall customer doors and keep the loading docks closed when they're not actively in use 🤷

I've lived here for all of my 41 years and I've never seen a bird in a grocery store and only twice total in hardware stores 😆

Sure they can. Just aim/calibrate/whatever so they only detect stuff at floor level, or beyond a certain size.
