    He remained in the car with her child while she was forced to make the purchases.

    This is the bit I don’t understand. How could he know she wouldn’t involve police the moment he let her out of sight? I know there’s the threat to the baby, but the risk he took there is unbelievable.

      We are not talking about a criminal mastermind here.

      It is was a high-risk, low return heist. She could have called the police, liberated her baby, had the stores brick the laptops on purpose and he would have gotten nothing.

      The way it was, he (as so far) managed to get away with hot, easily traceable goods and she has suffered a financial loss and serious trauma. No one will win in the long term.
