Ummm...how does one "hide" a laptop computer in their pants?? It's not like it was a small item like a cell phone...strange.

asustudent75 - What's so strange? He did it. It was on video. All the schooling in the world but still no common sense. Wish I had been in the store that day so that I could have caused him great pain. Bastard.

DEVGRU...no common sense?? Are you saying that I have no common sense? What I mean by strange is that he was able to get out of the store with a freakin' laptop in his pants without being stopped..how obvious is it that this guy had a LAPTOP in his pants!! You obviously misunderstood what I meant by my comment.

Obviously you don't understand that this was recorded on video. Nowhere in the story does it say the owner SAW this happen. That's why it was narrowed down to a 30 minute time frame A WEEK AGO.

Humbleopinion is absolutely correct. Finally someone with a little common sense who can figure things out for himself without it being spelled out for him. Thank God.

954baybay, Can you not see that this incident was captured on video by looking at the "Pictures". I can promise you that there are several people who are in that store that would have stomped this trash had they known what was happening, and with much gratification. God was looking out for him that day for some reason.

I hate to be so hard on people, but today's society no longer sits back and "Thinks". They wait for somebody else to figure things out for them. Shallow thinking. Do that in battle and you die quickly. Call me what you want and I am a lot of things, but "stupid and scared" is not one of them.
