Is it just me, or is this whole story so bizarre that there has to be more to it than what has been reported so far?
My mind immediately went into 'what if it happened to me' mode and there are many questions based on info we have been given so far.
In a couple of weeks, I suspect this will be a different story. hopefully with an offender identified.
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?
