Criminals tragetting "Computer Shops"

Unfortunately computer parts and games are costly and very popular, making them a perfect target. All the owner can do is up security and close early if they must.And, the world isn't going to get any better, as you and I know, but in the future, this old world will pass away and there will be a new world..

I really those guys, especially they were just like in their early 20s. What a bunch of losers! In fact, I was a victim of a holdup when I was a kid and now whenever I hear people shout "Magnanakaw", I also run and try to capture them and punch or kick his face and groin. That is what I hate here in our country, I think the main reason on this is the poverty but I will not tackle it since it is very delicate topic. I saw the news last night and they caught two robbers and the reporter asked why did they do it and one guy answered, "Lasing lang po kasi ako nun". Was that a reasonable answer? lolz. I think one solution here is additional police visibility or barangay tanods.

dear LK, This bad guys will always have their target,and even have it planned well. But there will be a right time for them to pay for everything. Maybe not here on earth,but in the judgment that heavens will do. So,let them enjoy their time now...and suffer for eternity.

That is true, thieves, big and small now see internet cafes as perfect places to hatch their crimes. We have to be careful with our belongings and these net cafes should have cameras everywhere so the faces of these hoodlums will be posted in YouTube.

Hi Letran, How sad that robbers and thieves take full advantage of others. I can see why they are closing earlier and limiting the usage because they are potentially at risk as some robberies usually do occur at night. It is best they continue to surveillance and catch any and or all repeat offenders. Also too the cameras if they are being watched carefully they can potentially stop someone who is attempting.

actually, for me, CCTV is not a good defense against bad intruders... because what the CCTV did is a recorded video of the past and not that actual that will give the alarm to the police station that help is in need.... you'll only self-pity if you only watch how did those criminals do it and not caught... CCTV is only good for a sort of evidence if those criminals are successfully caught... but the best defense against these intruders is to have at least 5 sensor alarms (500 Philippine pesos or up to 1,000 Php each) and it could buy at ACE Hardware or Handy Man in Philippine malls.... burglar alarm (5 units) is the first stepping stone for those criminals to not continue their plan because it is now alarming buzz and before they "About Face" to retreat, a cctv camera already recorded their face (if they aren't wearing masks) and that is only what a cctv camera can do it's service.... i have a very small sari-sari store but i have 5 burglar alarms ( 3 on the outside and 2 in the inside) the setup is: each burglar(sensor) alarm are facing each other like a star shaped, that when those intruders disconnect one of my alarm, the other 4 alarms are facing each other and making dizzy for those criminals which is the first to disconnect.... i cover it with electrical tape (to which the color of the alarm device casing is the same with the color of the electrical tape) in order for those intruders not to locate where did those sound beeping goes.... because they couldn't easily find where the LED lit flashes.... that is my purpose for taping those led..... and don't forget to buy a peppermint teargas, in case of emergency, just aim your teargas in the secret hole that you created and shoots at the other side of the wall to where your store is..... those criminals are not only busy located to where those alarm located but also busy covering their sensitive body areas because an irritant gasses came out from the teargas..... nyahahahahaha

criminal minds are looking at easy prey for their criminal activities. now, they turn to internet and computer shops because of the lack of security. the robbers are taking advantage of the inability of these shops to hire security guards and the unholy hour or late at night operations of these shops. the CCTV may help, but the police must track down these robbers and put them in jail.

I thank my mother for submitting in buying me a PC and subscribing to an internet provider. I have been long annoyed in the noises, the heat and other inconveniences of a computer shop. And of course, there is always the incidence of theft. I nearly lost all my USBs before I owned my computer. Good thing that some shops do have the initiative to have CCTV installed in their shops. At least, the crime can be reported and there is evidence involved. It also helps that people are being monitored, even though some will cry foul on their right to privacy. I guess it always helps to a person to be attentive even when using the computer.

hello, computer shops have been targets for a long time simply because they are vulnerable and easy prey to criminals, for one it seldom has guards, people in it are too preoccupied playing or whatever that they are doing that they forget being safety conscious, mostly it's dark, air conditioned and hard to see if there is a commotion inside, a lot of of expensive and easy to sell to fences equipment inside. Yes CCTV will help but I hope they also have panic buttons and alarms

hi letranknight maybe because computer shops, has many people i mean there are many students there playing online game , and many more surfing net there are many students or a manirism of some people that they put there cellphone, bags , wallet in front of the monitor which many people can see it , and that's the source of why people are rubbing or getting someone's items we should be careful were we put our items if we go to a internet cafe.
