The article says they stole handbags, along with shoes that were in the display window, and that they had also raided a nearby Neiman Marcus on Tuesday.

The bags are very expensive and will probably make good “resale” items...or maybe they’re giving them to their baby-mommas, although I doubt it. The life of a baby-momma usually isn’t that good.

All of these high-end items appear in rap videos or even in rap songs (if you can make out the lyrics, which unfortunately I can). This is probably why the junior thug crowd is after them.

I know the bags are expensive, as are the shoes. Some of the Christian Louboutin shoes are more expensive than the bags.

Christian Louboutin shoes are instantly recognizable because of their red soles. The pocketbooks aren't. Thieves usually want all their friends to know they are wearing a brand label, even when they are getting a mighty big discount.
