Thieves preying on fellow protesters (Occupy Wall Street)

Occupy Wall Street protesters said yesterday that packs of brazen crooks within their ranks have been robbing their fellow demonstrators blind, making off with pricey cameras, phones and laptops -- and even a hefty bundle of donated cash and food.

“Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment,” said Nan Terrie, 18, a kitchen and legal-team volunteer from Fort Lauderdale.

“I had my Mac stolen -- that was like $5,500. Every night, something else is gone. Last night, our entire [kitchen] budget for the day was stolen, so the first thing I had to do was . . . get the message out to our supporters that we needed food!”

Crafty cat burglars sneaked into the makeshift kitchen at Zuccotti Park overnight and swiped as much as $2,500 in donated greenbacks from right under the noses of volunteers who’d fallen asleep after a long day whipping up meals for the hundreds of hungry protesters, the volunteers said.

That was my first thought - never been a problem at Tea Party rallies.

Since they don’t believe in the rule of law what difference does it make? Get over it!

Nan may only be 18, but, she has sure learned how to inflate an insurance claim.

She’s 18 years old with a $5500 laptop. I doubt if she worked and saved and bought it herself.

Assuming she's talking about a laptop, the most expensive new MacBook Pro, with all the upgrades and accessories, including more cables and support services than anyone would ever order, is less than $4,300.

If she tries to make a claim with her insurance company for $5,500, she's gonna run up against a buzz saw.

IOW, she's a liar.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

To complain is to undermine the revolution, where are the commissars?.

Wait—I thought property itself was theft? I don’t these commies should be complaining. After all, they’re supposed to share.

Problem? Isn't that what the RATS are endorsing?

Still holding on to that bourgeoise "property rights" bulls**t, eh, Nan? That laptop belongs to the people. So does your lap, if someone takes the notion.

I went over to the Apple webpage. Clicking every possible option for a MacBook Pro, I came up with a maximum possible price of $4,596.00.

But she's just defrauding some eeeeevil corporation insurance company, so it's all good!
