I suffer from SEVERE depression and so can't work. I need a laptop
computer. I went to steal one from the shop we have here in the USA
called Electronics City and I became very disheartened. This is
because the
laptop was attached to a kind of cable and it also seemed to have some
kind of alarm system attached to it's USB slot. Anyone here be kind
enough to tell me of a way you've figured around this security
system?

On a side note, If I do manage to somehow get the laptop free from the
damn wires, how do I get them past the electronic tags they have at
the exits? I mean, if i carry the laptop over my head, above the
height of the electronic scanners, or even if I pass the laptop on the
side of the electronic tags away from the door (in the gap between
the electronic sensor and the rest of the store), will the alarms
still go off? What I'm trying to say is, do the electric scanners at
the exists have 360 degree coverage, or is the coverage only between
the gaps between the 2 sensors?

Finally, if stealing from the electric store is too hard, can anyone
here be kind enough to tell me of an easier way to scam a free
laptop? Thanks and bye friends.

Ask your local police officers - they would be able to tell you.

I suffer from sever depression because of all the taxpayer money that
is spent on shitbags like you who live on welfare and scheme to steal
everything that isn't nailed down.

Dr. baf, you haven't got the best chance of getting an answer to this,
because none of the groups it's posted to have anything to do with
computers.
My answers, for what they're worth:
How to steal a laptop: don't. You'll end up in jail.
How to get a free laptop: sorry, no idea how you'd do it in America. I
live in Britain.
If you're still after a free laptop, you might try asking in some comp.* or
alt.comp.* newsgroups, or us.comp.* if there are any (my server doesn't
carry many us.* groups). There are newsgroups about depression
(alt.support.depression.*, soc.support.depression.* and one or two others)
if you're interested.
Might I ask why you need a laptop particularly?

Forgot to say, I've never looked at these groups myself, so I couldn't say
which of them are derelict or suffer from postings like Steady Eddy's. Dr.
Baf will just have to check them for him/herself.

While the ADH poster Cowboy could probably provide better advice, I
haven't seen him around for a while and will therefore try to help you
as best I can.

Here's my two cents:

1) Play on peoples' sympathies. Call your local American Cancer
Society, tell 'em you're bedridden with 6 months to live, and you want
to try to establish relationships with your estranged kids via email
and instant messaging. Tell them every penny you have goes toward
painkillers and diapers, and see if they can't give you a donated
machine. If the ACS doesn't come through, you can try this same scam
with the AIDS people, Muscular Distrophy, etc., etc., etc. And don't
settle for a piece of crap! Tell 'em your kids are serious computer
buffs, and you need a dual core 64-bit Pentium machine with built in
wireless, a DVD burner, and at least 250 GB of disk space.

2) Let someone else steal one for you! Go into the electronics
store, choose your dream machine, and tell the clerk you want to buy
it. The clerk will get a boxed one from stock and proceed to the cash
register expecting you to pay up. At this point, tell him you need to
load up on software and you need the box while shopping to ensure
compatibility. Then find some kid with a backpack and tell him you're
buying the laptop for your wife's anniversary present. Offer him $10
to sneak the computer out of the store so "your wife" doesn't get
wise. Meet him outside, tell him you're out of cash, and promise to
mail him the $10.

3) There's this old wanker out in the San Fran Bay area that has all
sorts of computer equipment. I'll email you his address and phone
number. If you show up at his door after noon, he'll be so drunk you
can tell him his ISP sent you there to "check his connection", and
he'll let you in. Then tell him he has "a bug" in his computer, and
you are taking it to the Orkin Pest Control facility and will be back
in a jiffy! You'll have to play it by ear, but if you feign interest
in the old man's incoherant ramblings, you'll likely get a pull or two
off his Wild Turkey bottle, to boot.

These are the best scams I can think of off the top of my head. If I
run into Cowboy, I'll point him in your direction. Good luck and keep
us posted!

Peace,

Gatherer

No Eddy, you suffer from severe depression because you are a total and
utter loser in real life. Anyone who feels the need to come onto the
internet and insult complete strangers is obviously neurotic and a
deeply flawed individual.

Underneath I pity you Doug, I truly do.

OK, Dr. Baf,

Here's what I know about electronic loss prevention systems. The
sensors by the door WILL go off if you hold the laptop over your head,
unless you remove the magnetic strip, then you can walk through like
nothing. The magnetic strip is usually very thin, like a piece of
tape. It's usually white, with a black line on it. The trouble with
this is that it's an easy matter to conceal this tape just about
anywhere (including inside the laptop). If the "wires" attached to the
laptop are just steel cables, you can just simply cut them. If not,
you can simply cut them and walk away, to see if an alarm goes off.
About USB connected systems, I don't know. Some people I know have put
laptops and flat screen TVs in a cart and simply walked out the door.
Maybe a backpack would be better. If you can slip into the stockroom
with the laptop, you might just be able to jet out the back door of
the place, or even through the 'puter in the trash, and retreive it
from the dumpster later that night. Also, I don't know what the laws
are where you are, but here in Massachusetts, larceny of property
worth over $250 is a felony, while petty larceny is a misdemeanor, and
not a jailable offense. If you could create a significant enough
distraction in the store to get the attention of store detectives,
this could help. A 500 ct string of firecrackers with an extra inch or
so of fuse should suffice, maybe something like a 100 shot saturn
missle battery (commercially available fireworks) should instantly get
everyone's attention.
Also, you might try getting one legally. I think certain ISPs
offer free Dell netbooks with a service contract.

Be good, and if you can't be good, be good at it.
regards,
sk3tch

Jeez, Eddy, I thought we was buddies and all! Nice snipping of the
original post, though!

BTW, I forgot to add that you should give the kid a loaded handgun, so
he can shoot his way out of the store, if he gets in a pickle!

You sounded serious, just checking. Look what happened to Lucky. He
has been in to creampies ever since he was 10. A bum sent him into a
store to rip off toliet paper and he hasn't been the same since. So
knock that shit off.
