Apple Stalker Does Something Stupid
A thief who stalked Apple customers telling them “don’t do nothing stupid” to induce them to hand over just-purchased products didn’t follow his own advice.
After robbing at least three people by stalking them from Apple’s SoHo store in New York, Dwayne Stewart got caught by using his real name to pawn the products nearby.
“Don’t do nothing stupid,” Dwayne Stewart snarled to one victim before grabbing his computer a few blocks from the Apple Store and running off, police told the NY Post.
Stewart was arrested after a person who bought one of the hot computers took it in for service at an Apple Store.
A worker there looked up its registration number and discovered it had been reported stolen.
Police traced the stolen computer back to Stewart because he used his real name at the pawn shop.
Doh!
