Seriously...you expected them to run for a laptop that isn’t even theirs????

Why are the young so of fraid of the truth, yes they have become soft and snowflakes

People who steal stuff like that typically grab it and run. An elderly person would be jeopardizing their safety by going after the thief. What else could they have reasonably done?

Actually I think they were right. You should not have left it. In reality, what did you expect from them?

Honestly you were rude to them first, so.... they only responded in kind.

All you can do is report it to the police.
Has the cafe got a camera on the premises?
Is there a street cam near by?
Not much you can do once it is gone.

I actually thought this was one urban legend joke... and was waiting for the punchline

Lesson learned haha.

So you were expecting them to take on a thief who would of most likely have been a crazy ice junkie and expect them to get assaulted or worse for protecting a strangers laptop? Where you could of just taken it to the toilet with you? 🤔🤔 at the end of the day it’s your responsibility. And if you didn’t behave the way you did at least you have had a couple of witnesses.

I would never leave my laptop with a stranger

At least they can be your witnesses when you go to the police

Youre leaving cuz of this Q? :| come on thats silly

I've many things stolen from me and even if it sounds herretic, i still prefer to be a bit more carefree and trust whatever there is, instead of being highly attentive regarding my stuff. It leads to loss some times, but there are greater rewards most of the times.

Lol

where were you to have to carry a laptop around...
