Is a stranger's laptop worth getting your face smashed for? Or stabbed? It doesn't sound like anybody's physical well being was threatened, so why risk your own

- rokhayakebe 12y agoMaybe you could take a picture then tell them, if anything happens to me in the next 5 years, this picture will be sent to the police. But at any rate, it is better to shut up and give description to the owner.
- jjallen 12y agoI agree that it's quite inexplicable why a woman who didn't know the owner of the laptop ran after the thief who was at least a third bigger than she was.
- michaelmior 12y agoWhy was the thief at least a third bigger than the woman?
- jjallen 12y agoI didn't actually see him, but he was a grown man by all accounts, and the woman was on the smaller side. So she was something like 120 lbs. max and he was at least 180 lbs.+
- PhasmaFelis 12y agoIt's so weird when people look out for each other. It's like they're actually decent human beings or something!
- baddox 12y agoInteresting. In addition to victim blaming, it appears that all bystanders are also being blamed.
- MarkTee 12y agoI highly doubt that a person stealing laptops from Starbucks is going to stab you.
- Crito 12y agoBecause violent street thieves are unable to walk into a coffee shop? If you live in a city where violent crime is not uncommon, don't assume that a thief is a nice person just because you've caught them in the act in a coffee shop.
- baddox 12y agoHave you been to San Francisco? I don't know the rate of stabbings, but I have seen plenty of violently unstable people here that I wouldn't want to provoke.
