- There were two fleeting moments of confusion: first when he grabbed my laptop from under my fingers and took off racing out the coffee shop; and second, when it became clear that the license plate wasn't real.
"On Monday afternoon, at about 2pm, some bastard stole my laptop as I was typing on it.
It was wholly unexpected. I was sat in a coffee shop I often go to in the afternoon to do some work and someone entered my vision from the right-hand side.
There was absolutely no hesitation on his part: he grabbed the laptop and immediately took off.
I only saw his back.
...we were on a main road in the heart of San Francisco.
Dozens of people were nearby.

Cowards, I muttered under my breath."
