 Computers? As in more than one? Were the items laid out on the seats like a display case? Sounds to me like someone is trying to jack-up an insurance claim.

My friend works for a Manhatten company and he often needs to haul valuable equipment in his car into Brooklyn.  He told me they use a standard cardboard box to transport the equipment in the rear seats of the vehicle.  And often the cars are parked on the streets so tehy could be robbed any time.   

What's printed on the box? 

"SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS." 

They haven't lost a piece of equipment yet!

Ya think? She forgot to list the diamond rings and tennis bracelets!  D'OH!

Maybe she has a lot of break-ins in her neighborhood and didn't feel safe leaving the stuff at home?
