I would always say something of course.

]]> <![CDATA[Williamsburg Residents Getting Their iMacs Stolen Left and Right]]> Maybe if they weren't so busy pretending to be writing/working, they wouldn't lose track of their laptops so easily. I think it has more to do with those being stolen from rather than the thief population in the area.

Let's just suppose for argument's sake that the common thread here is that all the victims were just too self involved to realize that they weren't the center of the universe.

Let's assume that the victims were so self involved in fact, that they simply assumed everyone around them would alert a 'would be' thief that the laptop did not belong to them, but the wonderful person over by the napkin dispenser.

And let's just suppose the others in the coffee shop - getting such an air of condescension from our victim at first seating that when the poor boob left his laptop unattended for half an hour to talk to a hottie by the napkin dispenser, none of the locals really cared...

]]> <![CDATA[Williamsburg Residents Getting Their iMacs Stolen Left and Right]]> @IndianSlipper: Puh-lease! Know your hipster! This particular breed of post-college douchebag would not be caught dead at a Starbucks. Rather, imagine that they left said laptop at the independent, locally owned, free-trade coffeeshop whilst going to retrieve their oily, black coffee. A half-caff soy mocha from Starbucks is so totally Boerum Hill or Prospect Heights. Or worse, just plain West Village.

]]> <![CDATA[Williamsburg Residents Getting Their iMacs Stolen Left and Right]]> @thedecider: Your right! I chased a guy down the street in MidTown to get my laptop (Dell) back after he took it from a bar. Never ever happened in O'Hanlons.

]]> <![CDATA[Williamsburg Residents Getting Their iMacs Stolen Left and Right]]> Thieves don't care what kind of computer they are going to steal. It's just more likely that these idiots are more prone to leaving it on the table at Sarfucks for 25 minutes while they wait for their half-caff soy mocha extra hot latte. (FYI-always order extra hot, or they are cold in like 2 minutes)
