If cabelas accommodated that mentality, they deserve to go under.
They did adjust it by stating the warranty was for the lifetime of the product and used predetermined life of the particular product. It's too bad they didn't use more common sense and tell the renters where to go when it was obvious what they were doing. And the others wearing it out thinking they got new stuff when it did.
Some real a$$holes ruined these return policies and I don't blame them. I'm just surprised they allowed so many to abuse it like they did. When LL Bean changed their's, they flat out said they were tired of people finding grandpas 50 year old $hit in the attic and returning it.
