+1 - don't be surprised if they ask you to leave a credit card.... there was a guy doing exactly what Grits mentions up here. He'd walk into a bike store, ask to test a new, usually expensive, bike and take off with it. He managed to steal a lot of bikes before he was caught.

+2 it is all too easy to ride even just down the block then keep on going. One of the salesman in the shop where my husband works had to go after someone in his car.
