I'm sure you'll be happy when best buy raises their prices even further because they have to install more advance security systems into all of their stores, because of idiots like this who feel just because they're clever means they can steal property that is not theirs.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/

well apparently they are smart... they actually did steal it, not just think they can... and now it is theirs

and who gives a shit if best buy raises their prices... you can get a better deal on pretty much anything at B&H or like... the internet]]>Jun 22nd 2007 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/No, because with all of the alarms, cameras, and other surveillance, it's hard to pull off a robbery of this magnitude anymore. It's at a major electronics chain, which has a mark-up on all of it's items, not to mention insurance to cover it all. If it was at someone's house, I wouldn't be happy. As a burglary victim, myself, it sucks, but for someone to be intelligent enough to do more than break a window, I give them credit.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/Jun 22nd 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/Well the clarification on the person vs faceless corporation is good to hear. But I still wouldnt go so far as to say they deserve the loot.
Whether Best Buy shafts it's honest customers or not, I still don't think it's justifiable. I just don't shop there.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/
"But dad, if someone is clever enough to hack around security systems, and they don't delete anything, what's the harm in that. I don't think it should be a crime"

My dad just couldn't grasp my point. "But it's not theirs to poke around in in the first place."

I still viewed the world as the little guy vs. the big corporation and if the little guy can stick it to the corp, the little guy should be rewarded.

Now that I'm older and actually have my own stuff, I realize naive I was. Look, the distinction between burglarizing a person's house and a big electronics store is... wait for it.... NOTHING. I have homeowner's insurance. I will be compensated if you come and take my stuff. But that doesn't make it ok! It's still my stuff in my house and you have no right to it. Just because "my house" in this case is best buy doesn't make it less of a social wrong.

I loved Ocean's 11 - 13 and appreciated the cleverness of their fictionalized heists, but at the end of the day, they are still committing a felony.

Lock 'em up.

What? Where does it say anything about not having a real job?

I'm not in favor of theft. All I was saying was that to pull off a crime of that caliber, takes a lot of planning and, yes, some sort of, intelligence. Not to mention they were able to boost plasma TVs and 40 laptops. That is a lot of merchandise to grab in a relatively short amount of time.]]>Jun 23rd 2007 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/selling stolen shit on ebay]]>Jun 27th 2007 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/

I mean, seriously it's that easy. Hell, if they disabled the alarm they probably just walked out of the back warehouse door (it's controlled by the alarm). I'm surprised they didn't steal something substantial like a plasma TV.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/Jun 22nd 2007 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/thieves-rob-best-buy-blind/
