I don’t think there’s any more to it than what’s been reported on the media though I did read the entire abc article at work and saw it a lot on tv.

To some degree it was planned and calculated. because of where the offender was telling the mother to go and had to have a place to purchase the laptops.

He chose high value items that could be easily resold too.

Last of all he picked a victim carefully where he had leverage against them.

I really do hope they find the offender and put him away for quite awhile.

What do you think there might be more to the story?
