Target doesn't have any surveillance cameras? And the alleged victim doesn't know what kind of laptop he owned? I wish the author had though more about this report before uploading it.

Easily avoidable if the victim was aware of his surroundings. If you're looking at your phone, take 2 seconds and look up and side to side. Criminals look for people that aren't paying attention.

Don't blame the victim. Blame voters a few years ago who said that it was ok to steal anything valued at less than $950.

Marc, if you truly believe that's true, how many things have you recently stolen?

Or maybe you don't believe it, and just need to turn off Fox News.
