Yea, I've watched about a million movies where the crooks count how long it takes for the guard to make his rounds. They bust in the place and run out in under that amount of time. Simple. Not criminal genius.

They have so much glass because it creates a pleasant buying atmosphere. It there wasn't all that glass, it would be a much more somber place and dip shits wouldn't pay $3,000 for a laptop with a 13'' screen.

BTW the back where they store all of the new pieces is probably locked with a combination code or a key. I know I'm the only "hood rat" but am I the only person to work in retail as well?

Don't forget the light weight, thin body, and flash drive instead of hard drive --- I'd pay up to an extra $1K for that stuff, assuming the rest of the package was what I wanted.

Yea, well a Macbook Air is really cool but I can get an Acer, a huge laptop with all the bells and a home computer for what they want!

There is a film that can be applied to the window that would slow them down a lot. You can put this on and beat a window with a bat and not break it the first time. It takes a while and even then you can just walk in you still have to beat on it to get in.

depends on the store... for laptops and shit... the stores I worked at that had other things would have them locked up in back yes... but we also had the ones on display locked up... so

I was thinking if they don't bother locking up the most readily available stuff... why lock up the stuff in back... but then again the locker in the back in my old shop was to keep the employee's honest... so you're probably right...
