Intesting criminal...

James J · 21 Jan 2008 at 21:32

Yesterday an asian fellow came into work with an empty laptop bag and ripped a kensington lock from a laptop and stuck it in his bag, all on CCTV inside the store. Now we cant do nowt with him until he left the store as thats when the offense has been commited so we left the business parks security to deal with him.

They missed their opportunity! He got away

Or so we thought...

Less than 24 hours after he'd stolen a £1000 laptop from our store he comes back in and ASKS if he can get a power adapter for it hahaha.

Needless to say owned!

seriously lol, couldnt believe it and was nearly crying with laughter when i was told he'd come back in and done that haha

lol, I can't believe you have to wait for someone to walk out of the shop. Surely with the expection of confused old people (who arn't strong enough to break the kensington locks) no one would break a lock so they could carry a PC to the check out. Or am I overestimating the great unwashed?

lol what a daftie

It's not until the guy walks out the shop that theft has been committed, but as soon as he rips the lock off of it he could safely be detained and done for attempted theft (which carries the same penalty).

I guess you can claim that you intended to pay for it if you were still in the shop, where as if you've left the premises then you clearly had no intention of paying

is it not criminal damage once he breaks the lock?

So what did he say... "Umm, do you have the power adaptor for that laptop I swiped earlier?"

"Err, I'll go have a look.... Security!"

He got away with a £1000 laptop, good job! It would be us laughing at you if he didn't come back.

i watched that too, the guy who got in through the vents only to find out he was locked inside rofl.

Either he was taking the biscuit or he was just too cocky for his criminal acts.

You know there's an award for Darwin Awards... is there something like this (apart from ADC- we're not in America)? Should find the name and news cover of it and add it to the data base

But better getting him for both criminal damage and theft
